Research projects

Algorithmic Fairness for Asylum-Seekers and Refugees (AFAR)

This project aims to investigate the understandings and institutionalisation of ‘fairness’ in migration and asylum governance (MAG) in Europe, focusing on the actual and emerging role of newtech.

Data Science for Asylum Legal Landscaping (DATA4ALL)

Leveraging large-scale decision data in the Nordics, DATA4ALL pioneers a new research agenda combining data science and migration law to understand the significant outcome variations in asylum decisions within and across countries.

Judging Under the Influence

In every courtroom, law, politics, and personalities matter. The key question, which this project seeks to answer, is how much and when do they matter in Luxembourg?

Mobility Disenfranchisement: Infrastructures of the Global Mobility Divide (MOVIDE)

To improve current understandings of the underlying causes, drivers and implications of the widening global mobility divide, this project investigates the unforeseen mechanisms by which legal regimes shape flows of human (im)mobility on the global scale.

Nordic Refugee Determination: Advancing Data Science in Migration Law (NordASIL)

NordASIL will produce a novel approach to answer two questions: What factors shape the production of national asylum decisions? and Why do asylum outcomes across similar cases differ so much from one another?

Regional Mobility Infrastructures (REMOBILISE)

REMOBILISE is an interdisciplinary project employing a mixed-methods approach, it presents the first comprehensive, multi-site analysis of how mobility infrastructures shape free movement across West Africa – and with what consequences.

XAI-CRED: Explainable Artificial Intelligence and Credibility in Asylum Decision-making

Addressing the 'black-box' problem in AI applications for asylum law, XAI-CRED pioneers a new type of explainable artificial intelligence focused on credibility assessment to improve transparency, fairness, and decision-making in asylum procedures.

Explainable Artificial Intelligence and Fairness in Asylum Law (XAIfair)

XAIfair is an interdisciplinary project where data scientists (AI/XAI researchers) and legal scholars join forces to overcome the challenge of introducing meaningful XAI into a specific legal domain, namely Nordic asylum law.

Refugee Political Participation (RPP)

Refugee Political Participation (RPP) is a project funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme of the European Union. RPP will study the political participation of refugees through cross-cutting research.
