CPHS is a partner (associate member) of the Alliance of Leading Universities on Migration (ALUM). The Alliance is a unique collaboration among leading universities in Europe, USA and frontier refugee recipient countries in North Africa and the Middle East which aims to help bridge the gap between research and policy in the management of the ongoing migrant and refugee crisis. ALUM’s efforts are coordinated regionally by four universities: Universität Mannheim (Continental Europe); the American University of Beirut (Middle East and North Africa), Yale University (USA) and the LSE Institute of Global Affairs (UK and rest of the regions), which has also taken up the responsibility to manage a small virtual “Secretariat” for ALUM. www.alum.global
