Programme Description
Migration management remains one of the most divisive issues in the political agenda, both in the EU and internationally. In its 3rd edition, this Executive Training course aims at developing and strengthening skills that pertain to managing the entry and presence of foreigners within the borders of the State and the protection of refugees and others in need of protection. This training will provide officers and practitioners working in the field of migration with a holistic approach, looking at the issue of migration management from different perspectives and across different themes in order to share knowledge and upgrade key expertise.
Throughout this course, the different stages of migration management will be examined: issue framing, decision-making, implementation, and monitoring. Insights from migration theory and empirical research will be combined with knowledge about challenges and opportunities arising from political processes, and practical perspectives that occur at the operational level, offering a unique setting to develop a deeper understanding of migration, both in its theoretical subtleties and as a very practical subject.
By the end of the training participants will have developed a sophisticated understanding of the complexities, trade-offs, and ethical issues that pertain to the governance of migration at a regional, European, and international level. They will also be able to use original findings from cross-cutting research and network with a broad range of key stakeholders in the field of migration management.
For a detailed schedule and an overview of learning activities please consult the tentative programme agenda. Please note that all times in the agenda are in Central European Summer Time.
