Glasgow Refugee, Asylum and Migration Network

Glasgow Refugee, Asylum and Migration Network (GRAMNet) is an initiative of the University of Glasgow working internationally, across Scotland and the UK to build on the extensive expertise relating to migration, refugees and asylum, and with a particular interest in aspects of community cohesion.  GRAMNet is a partnership with a range of community and public organisations working in the field and its research and activities are led by its members and participants who set the research agenda.

GRAMNet offers extensive opportunities for knowledge exchange and public engagement through:

  • Trainings and workshops
  • Refugee Week Research Programme
  • Conferences and events
  • Artists and performers in residence
  • Funded projects and partnership initiatives

The City of Glasgow is host to the largest population of refugees and asylum seekers under the dispersal policy as well as having a history of hosting large communities of migrants.  Glasgow also has a large number of organisations working with migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in a variety of ways.  Whilst immigration is not a devolved matter it is clear that Scotland provides a distinctive context within the UK as far as migration, refugee and asylum issues are concerned.  In addition Scotland’s traditional communities have shown distinctive and creative approaches to the integration and sustaining of new and unstable populations and to promoting heath, prosperity, peace building and community sustainability.
