The European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA) is pleased to host its first State of Asylum Conference 2025 on 18 June 2025.
This flagship event will bring together high-level policymakers, EU institutions, international organisations and experts to discuss the current landscape of international protection and migration in the EU, the challenges we face, and the evolving EU migration agenda, particularly with regards to the Pact on Migration and Asylum.
Through high-level keynote speeches and panel discussions, this conference is an opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue, strengthen partnerships, and share innovative ideas in the complex and evolving areas of asylum and migration.
This year’s event, which is built around the theme "EU Asylum at a Crossroads?", will focus on past and future trends in migration and asylum in the EU and deepening partnerships to address mounting challenges, both in the EU and beyond.
The conference will also feature a presentation of the newly released EUAA Asylum Report 2025. The EUAA’s flagship report provides a comprehensive overview of key developments in legislation, practices and policies in Europe, and this year features summaries by country to highlight changes at the national level.
We hope that you will join us for this exciting inaugural event!
