Deadline for responding to Public Consultation on future rules on the entry and residence of non-EU national researchers and students in the EU
From 1 June to 23 August 2012, the consultation collects opinions on future rules on the entry and residence of non-EU national researchers, students, school pupils, unremunerated trainees and volunteers in the EU, with a view to the revision of the students and researchers Directives.
Questions regarding visa, EU mobility rules, or labour market access are areas in which the EU could possibly initiate further improvements for students, researchers and potentially other groups.
In order to support this reflection, respondents are invited to point to areas in which in their view there is a particular EU added value that could be created or improved. Views, experience and concerns are vital as well as knowledge of obstacles faced by non-EU nationals concerned when trying to access the EU.
Untill 23 August 2012, respondents (from the broadest public possible) can propose ideas about how to remove these obstacles and further develop the EU as a place to study, carry out research, volunteer, and participate in school pupil exchanges or unpaid training.
