We offered a John Smith Centre Emerging Leader internship to support the University of Glasgow team with the New Scots Refugee Integration Delivery Project (2020-22). This project was led by the Scottish Government in partnership with COSLA, the Scottish Refugee Council and the UNESCO Chair in Refugee Integration through Languages and the Arts (UNESCO RILA), and promoted employability, education, health and social and cultural connections for refugees. Specifically the intern worked alongside the project Research Associate, Dr Dan Fisher and joint MRes students to produce briefing papers and other materials from their research for diverse audiences, to expand the reach and impact of the project. The intern proactively horizon scanned to identify opportunities where such research briefings could impact on policy or practice and seek to establish networks for dissemination.
