About the event
The European Migration Network (EMN) has been designated by the European Council Conclusions on Statelessness of 3 and 4 December 2015 as the platform for the exchange of information on statelessness among EU Member States. Recently, the EMN Inform "Statelessness in the EU" was published, based on responses received from Member States on their current practice.
One year after the Conclusions, the conference took stock on collective efforts to address statelessness in the EU and identified what further action is required. The Conference focused on two themes: the identification and protection of stateless persons, and preventing childhood statelessness.
