9th European Migration Forum: The Role of Civil Society in Implementing the Pact on Migration and Asylum

This year's Forum, themed "Enhancing the role of civil society in implementing the Pact on Migration and Asylum", aims to bring civil society organisations together to discuss and engage with EU Member States and policymakers on the challenges and opportunities related to the implementation of the Pact on Migration and Asylum.

The EMF will particularly address four areas of the Pact:

• Ensuring adequate reception conditions;
• The changes introduced by the Qualification Regulation;
• The new permanent solidarity mechanism;
• The Action plan on Integration and Inclusion 2021-2027.

Discussions will also focus on safeguarding the fundamental rights of migrants and refugees.

The European Migration Forum is a platform for dialogue between civil society and European institutions on issues related to migration, asylum, and migrant integration. The aim of the forum is to enhance coordination and cooperation between key players involved in the multilevel European governance of migration.

As in its previous editions, the Forum’s 9th meeting will seek to ensure an interactive and participatory approach from participants and EU policymakers alike. The event will consist of breakout sessions, working groups related to the four areas, and a practical workshop on financial support. The Forum’s working language will be English.
