The annual conference is open to all and will focus on the fourth of Eastern ARC’s priorities, , and uses the anniversaries of the founding of United Nations High Commission for Refugees and the Cities of Sanctuary movement to explore a diverse range of issues for refugees, migrants and those seeking sanctuary, and for those supporting them. These include:

• Educational and employment challenges for refugees
• Partnership-building with universities in regions of conflict
• Using the creative arts in community building
• Working with host communities to address worries and fears
• Addressing ethical issues around refugee research
• Highlighting the legal framework of support for refugees.

To register, please complete  by 7 August 2025.

We will only confirm your place after the closing date, as we are keen to have as wide a representation of individuals and organisations at the conference as possible, and therefore will try and strike a balance between those represented.

The full programme is available .
