Human rights and the EU’s refugee policy
Human rights and the EU’s refugee policy after “Lampedusa”:
Perspectives of academics and practitioners
Theatersaal of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW)
Sonnenfelsgasse 19, 1010 Vienna
Diskussion, Round Table
The Lampedusa tragedy, in which more than 300 migrants drowned, has intensified discussions on the EU’s refugee protection and border control policies. Is the EU doing enough to protect lives at sea? What are the human rights challenges in the EU’s policies?
This public event will discuss these questions from a research and practical perspective. How do different academic disciplines and EU agencies view the human rights’ situation in these sensitive policy areas? Which kind of contribution can research make to tackle current challenges and strengthen human rights in the EU?
Panel discussants:
Florian Trauner (Platform European Integration Research, University of Vienna): a political science perspective
Manfred Nowak (Head, Research Platform Human Rights in the European Context, University of Vienna): a law perspective
Morten Kjaerum (Director, EU Agency for Fundamental Rights): policy research and advice
Robert Visser (Director, European Asylum Support Office): policy support and practical cooperation
Christoph Reinprecht (Head, Research Platform Migration and Integration Research, University of Vienna): a sociological perspective
Moderation: Eva Bachinger, Salzburger Nachrichten
Welcome: Gerda Falkner (Head, Platform and Institute for European Integration Research, University of Vienna)
