EMN Italy Conference: The European Pact on migration and asylum: multi-level governance and local policies for international protection
The EMN Italy National Conference 2025 focuses on the implementation of the European Pact on Migration and Asylum. Organised by the Central Directorate for Migration Policies within the Italian Ministry of the Interior, the event highlights the role of coordinated multi-level governance involving European, national, regional, and local actors. The conference aims to explore policy developments, governance structures, and practical experiences related to migration and asylum management in Italy and across the EU.
What:
The conference is structured around three main sessions:
-
The Pact: turning points for European governance in managing international protection procedures: This session addresses how the Pact expands the roles of European institutions, national governments, and increasingly, local and regional actors. It promotes a structured multi-level governance approach to deliver coordinated, coherent, and integrated responses to migration and asylum challenges.
-
The role of territories in multi-level governance: implementing the European Pact through the National Implementation Plan (NIP): This session focuses on experiences highlighting the local dimension as a crucial link between the needs of beneficiaries of international protection and the resources available within institutional and social contexts.
-
From knowledge to territorial tools and practices: This session showcases significant experiences demonstrating how effective multi-level governance can translate into practical, adaptable solutions across diverse local realities. It includes good practices involving national institutions, local authorities, civil society, and communities, particularly in housing, healthcare, education, and employment.
