This International Workshop starts from the assumption that to draw meaningful recommendations for managing displacement caused by war, such as in the case of contemporary Ukraine, it is necessary to examine regional historical roots and processes that led to it, as well as to draw on other examples of displacement, historical as well as contemporary, and the solutions that have been offered. Keynote lectures will be given by Franck Düvell (Osnabrück) and Prof Peter Gatrell (Manchester)

The workshop is part of the IAS research project 'Looking back to move forward: History, recovery, and sustainability in understanding the war in Ukraine on a global scale' (2024). 

Bringing in expertise from Ukraine, as well as relying on the knowledge of the international expert community, the workshop aims to explore historical, economic, socio-cultural, psychological and health implications of displacement in contemporary Ukraine. The workshop will complement existing research initiatives on displacement with an aim to offer fresh perspectives for research and policy-oriented decision-making in the field, with a potential focus on Ukrainian refugees in the UK and other countries in Western Europe. The value of the new initiative lies in its capacity to convene experts and stakeholders to address critical issues from multiple perspectives, including understanding state responsibilities, promoting civil society engagement, addressing comprehensive migration governance, and advancing inclusive social policies. The workshop aims to facilitate collaborative dialogue and interdisciplinary exchange, fostering effective networking for evidence-based research and the development of innovative solutions and actionable strategies to support displaced populations with the goal of enhancing their resilience in navigating complex challenges.
