This seminar aims to spark a conversation about the current approach of case-by-case policy-making with policy-makers and stakeholders. How has EU migration policy evolved from 2015 to today, and what work remains to be done? Examine the requirements and content for an overarching approach to EU migration – what might a common and sustainable approach look like?

The seminar will take place in a hybrid format and host 2 high-level panels of policymakers and experts, each panel followed by a Q&A session.
