Reflecting on academia&#8217;s central role, participants acknowledged the transformative potential of academic engagement in refugee protection, inclusion, and solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"not-prose cu-quote cu-component-spacing\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The workshop emphasized academia&#8217;s responsibility to advocate for evidence-based policies aligned with the GCR and foster meaningful collaborations with stakeholders such as governments, international organizations, NGOs, and affected communities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the event highlighted a multistakeholder pledge led by various academic institutions, calling for a paradigm shift in refugee research to empower researchers from low and middle-income countries and amplify the voices of displaced persons.
