EU Asylum and Migration Law: Recent Developments and Renewed Challenges

The New Pact on Migration and Asylum was adopted at last in 2024, with promises of managing and normalising migration for the long term. It provides EU countries with the flexibility to address challenges they face, while maintaining necessary safeguards to protect people in need. This online course, held over two half-days, proposes to revisit the fundamentals of EU migration and asylum law in the light of the recent reforms. Practitioners, lawyers, administrators will become familiar with the relevant concepts and rules in the existing and new instruments, and with the principles and guarantees developed by the Court of Justice of the European Union.

At the end of this course, you will have a good understanding of

• EU legal concepts and policy evolutions related to asylum and migration
• The challenges of balancing fundamental rights protection of individuals with the principle of solidarity among Member States and the policy, legal and jurisprudential responses to these challenges

The course will combine presentations by an expert and interactive discussions of concrete examples from the case law.

This course will equip you with the skills to identify and address

• legal and practical challenges in EU migration and asylum law
• the prospects of the New Pact on Migration and Asylum

Prior to the course, you will be given access to the course materials on our digital learning platform. This includes a short questionnaire, which will help us identify any specific questions you may have so we can consider as many of them as possible during the course.

Preparatory reading and materials will be available on the platform to facilitate joining the course. All course materials will be made available for the participants. After the event, additional materials and references to relevant literature, documents and websites will be accessible on our learning platform.

Anyone interested in issues of irregular and regular migration, as well as matters of asylum, including legal practitioners, government officials, NGO staff, administrators, and officers from EU institutions and agencies.
