Introduction

Refugeework.net is the online portal of the research project ‘Digital Livelihoods’, which studies online work, digital economies, and digital skills training among refugees living in cities.

The project is based at the School of Social and Political Science at the University of Edinburgh. It is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in the United Kingdom.

Are you interested to collaborate or participate in the research?

The project seeks to understand the reality of refugee work at a time of digital transformations from a variety of angles: from the lives and work of refugees themselves, but also from the perspective of online work platforms, digital initiatives, and training programmes. We are always looking for collaborators and partners that help us to work towards a future of fair and decent refugee work in digital economies.
