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.
