** a new feature entitled Mapping the UK. This product aims to provide you with information about asylum and refugee issues as they relate to specific cities and towns in the UK. An interactive map allows you to select the city or town of interest to you, and then links you to historical, statistical, resource, project, real lives and contact information about that place. Information is online for Bicester, Leicester, Sheffield and Southampton; is coming for Glasgow, Bristol and Cardiff; and will exist for all main UK towns and cities in due course

Summaries will follow for think tanks and professional bodies. This service is accompanied by two searchable databases containing information on research projects currently underway across the UK and the contact details of individual researchers and research institutions
