Immigrazione
English version
ERLAI is a Brussels-based network of regional and local officers on asylum and immigration. The group meets regularly to share good practice from the regions and to liaise with the EU institutions on legislative developments and funding opportunities. Work focuses on the key asylum and immigration issues of reception and integration. Our main objectives are:
- to ensure members are fully briefed on the EU agenda and that proper account is taken of the local and regional dimension in European policy development;
- to promote awareness of good policy and practice in other regions and local authorities;
- to explore possibilities for joint projects and facilitate funding bids.
Our target audience includes the EU institutions, international institutions, other relevant organisations and regional and local authorities around Europe.
The ERLAI network has made considerable progress over the last two years consolidating its position as a major forum discussion among leading EU regions and local authorities on asylum and immigration.
Membership continues to grow and now includes more than 30 regions and local authorities from 8 EU member states.
The ERLAI network activities are considerably strengthened by the European Commission co-financing of the ERLAIM project. All interested stakeholders are warmly invited to contact us in order to enlarge and strengthen the networking and dissemination of the project.
