European Migration Law

This project was selected in the 2016 call for innovative projects and was supported by the European Ideas Factory until 2018.

Presentation

ASYLUM, IMMIGRATION, FREE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE

An exceptional access to EU law and policy

The European Migration Law project focuses on the development of a website, www.EuropeanMigrationLaw.eu.

This site, unique in its design, offers simple and rapid access to European Union law, the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice, and EU news concerning asylum and immigration.

Initially established to provide professionals, practitioners and academics with access to the main sources of law, the European Migration Law project entered a new phase of development in 2016/2017, with the support of the European Idea Factory. The latter aimed, on the one hand, to strengthen the existing functions, in particular as regards the legal dimension and the news section. On the other hand, this development has allowed to create new platforms for scientific research but also for a wider public interested in asylum and immigration issues (such as journalists and citizens).

The aim of EuropeanMigrationLaw.eu is to bring together, in a single website, relevant and up-to-date information in three key areas: law, news and research.

The EuropeanMigrationLaw.eu project relies on a team of experts, practitioners and academics, with an in-depth knowledge of law, case law and practical issues of EU immigration and asylum policy.

EuropeanMigrationLaw.eu pursues the objective :

- to develop a European reflex among professionals and practitioners so that EU law becomes an everyday tool and the rights of migrants are protected;

- to provide a wide range of users with reliable, up-to-date and accurate information and data on EU asylum and immigration policy;

- to create a European platform for sustainable and multidisciplinary research.
