European Union The External dimension of the immigration & asylum policy of the EU

22 Feb 2009 |

Brussels, Belgium – 3 and 4 April 2009, 6th European congress of jurists specialised in European asylum and immigration policy. The aim of this Congress is to examine the legal basis of this policy and to assess from a legal point its recent rhetorical and practical developments. Academics will at this occasion collaborate with practitioners from the EU Institutions and the Member States. The congress is a common initiative of the Odysseus Academic Network and the Research Group “Transposition of & Legal Protection under European Migration Law”. Rather than multiplying the new initiatives, the objective of the Network is to give a European dimension to existing activities (research, conferences, publications) by strengthening the contacts between persons and institutions involved within the European Community.
