Introduction
I am interested in Refugee Reception and Integration in the Netherlands and the role that Civil Society & Governmental Organizations play in these processes. Currently, I am focusing on the lessons learnt from the 2015-2017 period & possible spaces for multi-stakeholders collaborative governance, as a resilient and sustainable platform model for migrant reception and integration. In these lines, I am doing research on the current Refugee Entrepreneurship Ecosystem (2018-2019) in the Netherlands.
