Information on Data Privacy

The protection of your data during its collection, processing, and use is a serious concern of ours. We are following the guidelines of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the complementary guidelines of the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (German Federal data protection law) (BDSG).

The questionnaire at hand is an important part of the joint research project ‘Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge Transfer’, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The research project is jointly conducted by BICC (Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies), Centre for Human Rights Erlangen Nürnberg (CHREN), German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) and IMIS (Institut für Migrationsforschung und Interkulturelle Studien) at the University Osnabrück, all located in Germany. With the help of this questionnaire we are collecting data regarding research projects in Germany on forced migration and refugees, and about research institutes as well as individual researchers who contribute to these research projects for a SQL-database — the Research Database Forced Migration. These project-, institutional- and individual-specific specifications form the base of an interactive, web-based research map that is available on the research project’s website: Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge Transfer. The research database and map contribute to the networking of forced migration and refugee research in Germany as well as to knowledge transfer into politics, practice, and the public. Projects, institutions, and individuals who are active in the field can be identified at a glance. Research projects about specific themes and study regions can be easily found through key words. Therefore, the Research Database Forced Migration serves as an instrument to gain an overview of state-of-the-art research on forced migration and refugees, but also to identify gaps in the current scientific research.

The questionnaire collects personal data. Title and name of the individuals involved in your research project, as well as their role in the project, are collected and published on the website to increase the visibility of the individual researcher within the field of forced migration and refugee studies. Contact information (telephone number and email address) will also be saved, but are only made available to staff of this research project and will solely be used to inform you about changes in the Research Database Forced Migration, the research map and for further enquiry.

Lead management of the research database lies with BICC (responsible pursuant to the DSGVO). Only staff of the research project both from BICC and IMIS collect, evaluate and access the research database. Following the data protection guidelines, you can at all times request information, corrections and the deletion of individual personal data and recant your declaration of compliance. Should you want to make changes to the data regarding projects or institutions, you can contact us at all times.
