ABSTRACT
Over 21 million refugees are residing in camps, journeying through Europe or resettling in new countries. The magnitude of the humanitarian crisis calls for technological innovation in addressing the challenges being faced by refugees and humanitarian aid stakeholders. This one-day workshop aims to (1) explore research methods that can be adapted and applied to refugee contexts and to (2) formulate a research agenda for future work.
