About the event
Moderated by Assoc.

Taking place at a crucial moment for the European Union, preceding the European elections in June 2024, the conference addressed one of the continent’s most pressing challenges: migration and asylum.
This theme, of major importance for Europe’s future, was discussed within a debate supported by renowned experts and Romanian MEPs and revolved around three essential questions:
What is the European Union doing correctly regarding migration and asylum governance?
What are the different policy visions regarding migration of Romanian MEPs and migration policy experts?
What risks does perpetuating a faulty system pose for migrants’ rights and political competition within member states?
