I am a migration researcher and I have provided information informally to a number of institutions and professionals, but I am not a human right expert and/or a refugee/asylum expert. I have written feasibility studies for new centres to support refugees in Italy and facilitated contacts in the field but I don't usually work in direct contact with refugees and asylum seekers.
