The conference will focus on the creation of solutions for flexible (asylum) housing capacity in the Netherlands and other EU Member States. In recent years, the Netherlands as well as other EU Member States have experienced heightened pressures on the asylum reception system, amongst other things due to the varying influx of applicants for international protection and the limited outflow of beneficiaries of international protection to regular housing. During the event, together with national and international experts we will discuss challenges, good practices as well as future lessons when it comes to dealing with pressures on the asylum housing system and the creation of flexible housing capacity, both in the context of international and temporary protection. Practitioners, (inter)national experts and others interested are welcome to join.
Programme
During the conference, we will present the EMN Inform on flexible housing capacity, including a comparative analysis of the similarities and differences between Member States. Subsequently, experts from the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA) in the Netherlands and from two other Member States will discuss case studies from the EMN Inform. In the following panel discussion, experts from the Netherlands will address flexible housing capacity in the context of temporary protection of Ukrainians. The event will leave ample room for questions from the audience and networking. The conference language is English.
More information on the program and instructions for the registration of participants will follow shortly. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on emn@ind.nl.
