- "To support the periodic review of the Global Compact on Refugees and its impact, a GCR indicator framework has been developed that will strengthen the availability of global data structured around the four objectives outlined above. The indicator framework reflects key areas of the GCR, including arrangements to support burden- and responsibility-sharing, areas identified as being in need of support, as well as interlinked aspects of displacement in host countries and countries of origin."

- "What is the role of arts (music, theatre, literature, etc.) in the solidarity movements in favour of refugees in European cities and beyond? What are the trajectories of refugee artists and their strategies for claiming a position in their new societies and artistic scenes? This Special Issue discusses these questions, as well as the manifold connections between arts and refugees. The five papers come from different disciplines (i.e., anthropology, musicology and sociology) and different theoretical perspectives and deal with different artistic disciplines (i.e., theatre, cinema, music, visual arts and painting). They all combine a robust theoretical approach with a qualitative empirical case study in different European countries (i.e., Germany, Italy, Belgium and the United Kingdom) and cities (i.e., Munich, Brussels, Liège and London)."
