Addressing statelessness in Europe’s refugee response ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research for this report was directed by the European Network on Statelessness (ENS) in partnership with the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion (ISI) and funded by the Open Society Initiative for Europe. Country research was carried out by ENS Members: Thomas McGee (Individual Associate Member) in Greece, Ivanka Kostic (Praxis) in Serbia, and Marlotte van Dael (ASKV) in the Netherlands. Regional stakeholder interviews were conducted by Nina Murray (ENS). The findings were analysed and written up by Nina Murray (ENS) and Zahra Albarazi (ISI), with editorial input from Laura van Waas (ISI), Chris Nash (ENS) and Jan Brulc (ENS). ENS is a civil society alliance of over 140 NGOs, academic initiatives, legal aid providers and individual experts working to address statelessness in 41 European countries through law and policy development, awareness raising, and capacity building. ENS has a strong track record of delivering high impact research, advocacy, capacity-building and awareness-raising projects in thematic areas such as childhood statelessness, preventing the arbitrary detention of stateless people, and addressing the discrimination faced by minorities disproportionately affected by statelessness and risk of statelessness, including Roma.
