European Migration Network

European Migration Network

European Migration Network is an EU project aimed at collecting, exchanging and analyzing information on migration and asylum. Thereby it contributes to the implementation of the Hague Program. The Czech Republic already participated in selected activities of the preparatory action (since 2002), after which the project has been officially inaugurated by the Council Decision No. 2008/381/EC (pdf, 56 kB) in May 2008.

Outputs of the European Migration Network are threefold: analytical reports on asylum and migration policy and statistics in the Member States, studies on clearly focused topics, and common information data basis. Also, National Contact Points query each other on Member States’ practice in specific areas of migration and asylum.

Department for Asylum and Migration Policy is the Czech National Contact Point of the European Migration Network. National network will include government bodies, as well as academia and NGOs.
