NaHuDi has partnered with universities across Europe to form CROSS-ACCESS, an interdisciplinary Thematic Network within the ENLIGHT Alliance. The project is led by Comenius University Bratislava, in collaboration with the University of Uppsala, the University of Galway, and the University of Göttingen. The network met in Galway on June 18th to discuss progress to date and to advance future plans. European ENLIGHT funding was received to complete a project which responds to the urgent need for integrated, inclusive, and participatory solutions to the systemic exclusion of migrants with disabilities.

The project explores the intersection of migration and disability as a critical yet underexamined site of exclusion and innovation. It brings together world-class expertise in social work, disability law and policy, global health, inclusive education, and participatory research. CROSS-ACCESS integrates knowledge of CRPD implementation, structural determinants of health, comparative legal reform, and community-engaged pedagogies to develop scalable, rights-based models of access.
