How Policy Decisions Affect Refugee Journeys in South Sudan: A Study Using Automated Ensemble Simulations

Forced displacement has a huge impact on society today, as more than 68 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide. Existing methods for forecasting the arrival of migrants, especially refugees, may help us to better allocate humanitarian support and protection. However, few researchers have investigated the effects of policy decisions, such as border closures, on the movement of these refugees. Recently established simulation development approaches have made it possible to conduct such a study.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration within HiDALGO

interdisciplinary integration

HiDALGO assembles a highly interdisciplinary team for its ambitious project work. Integration is fostered through regular sessions at (online) project meetings. A sub-task implements internal project surveys to identify in which places integration might still be improved.

ECMA ICCS Siam conference trio

HiDALGO participated in an online conference on 11-12 June 2020 on “Multiscale Modelling, Uncertainty Quantification and the Reliability of Computer Simulations”, with a total of five talks spanning all the pilot application domains. The conference was attended by more than 250 people, and is a combination of three events that were due to take place at the SIAM Conference on Uncertainty Quantification (UQ20) and the International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS) 2020, but were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Update: HiDALGO Poster Presentation at ISC'2020

Map with air pollution simulation

On June 22, HiDALGO was presented on a project poster session at ISC'2020 conference. Out of 25 projects selected for this session, HiDALGO was the only one directly related to the policy making and simulation of global challenges. Each project poster was supplemented with pre-recorded 5 minutes introductory video. During the session, attendees were able to watch these videos and ask questions to the poster presenters.
