Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Jordan Office and West Asia-North Africa Institute (WANA) have launched “Jordan-EU Dialogue on Human Security: Refugees and Forced Migrants in Focus”. It follows the success of the project, “Jordan-EU Dialogue on Human Security Issues”, completed by the partners in December 2020.

Project Objective

Focusing on a key human security area, the aim of the current project is to raise awareness about important issues concerning refugee and forced migration pertaining to both the EU and West Asia-North Africa regions. This would enhance the culture of dialogue and knowledge exchange, which would then be able to influence Jordanian and EU public policies related to refugees and forced migration. WANA is thus partnering with KAS to train eight Jordanians from diverse backgrounds to devise policy recommendations to issues of refugees and forced migration as they relate to the EU and WANA regions.

Target Group

The project is inviting eight Jordanian scholars, experts, and professionals from the ages of 21 to 35 with an interest in refugee and forced migration issues. Ideal candidates should have some previous research experience and be well grounded in refugee and forced migrant issues, as well as other issues relevant to Jordan-EU relations.

Application Process

The project seeks candidates with creative and original research topics. Candidates are requested to submit the completed application form along with their CVs (no longer than 3 pages). Papers will be written in English, with limited exceptions for Arabic papers given in special circumstances.
