The Irish Centre for Human Rights would like to congratulate Dr Stefano Angeleri for being awarded a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant (MSCA-IF-GF) under the EC Horizon 2020 scheme. Stefano, who is a PhD graduate of NUIG, is currently lecturing at the ICHR and managing the research project ‘FRANET’, funded by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights. Under his recently awarded MSCA-IF-GF he will be affiliated with Queen’s University Belfast and conduct research between Colombia (based at the Universidad del Rosario, 18 months) and Northern Ireland (Queen’s University Belfast, 12 months). His project ‘HEAVEN’ aims to develop the first primary health care-based paradigm of rights implementation for irregular migrants, employing the Venezuelan migration in Colombia as a case study. HEAVEN will establish conceptual and operational bridges between the fields of public health and human rights law to shape a regulatory framework to address the health needs of vulnerable migrants in a non-discriminatory, cost-effective, prevention- and equity-oriented way. The implementation of the project will generate an intensive interaction between the different state and non-state actors that provides services and coordinate the response vis-à-vis the Venezuelan migration in Colombia, and its impact, dissemination and communication strategies will include roundtables with key actors, legal advocacy initiatives, and interdisciplinary conferences.
