22 February, 2019 By Katie Kuschminder

The first article from my Rubicon research project is now published in the Journal of Refugee Studies and can be accessed here.

22 January, 2019 By Katie Kuschminder

College of Europe Migration Training at the European Court of Auditors

20 November, 2018 By Katie Kuschminder

On behalf of the College of Europe, I was privileged to deliver a training on migration at the European Court of Auditors. As migration funding has risen substantially in the EU, there is of course a large increase in the number of audits necessary on EU External Action on migration. This was a great experience to share a migrants perspective and my research findings with an excellent and receptive audience.
