Ethics Guidelines of the German Network for Forced Migration Studies published

We are delighted to inform you that the Ethics Guidelines of the German Network for Forced Migration Studies (Netzwerk Fluchtforschung e.V.) are now available in German and English as Open Access publications.

Forced migration studies, as a multidisciplinary and multi-methodological field, demands rigorous ethical standards. Researchers must safeguard the dignity, rights, and well-being of all participants, especially those with lived displacement experiences. The Ethics Guidelines provide a practical framework for conducting research in an ethically responsible manner throughout the research process.

The Ethics Guidelines are based on long-standing debates and build upon existing codes of ethics. They were finalised in 2024 following a participatory process that involved researchers from diverse disciplines, both with and without lived experience of displacement.
