European Institute implements project "Trainings in the filed of Resettlement" under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund.

The project proposal aims to strengthen cooperation between the Member States through innovative cooperation measures, which include joint activities and exchange of good practices with the other Member States. Furthermore, the project aims to promote fair and effective return strategies in the Member States that contribute to the fight against illegal immigration, with particular focus on the sustainable nature of return and actual readmission in countries of origin and transit. It also seeks to achieve effective protection of the rights of returnees throughout the return process and compliance with the international human rights standards. The project also aims to improve the capacity of those involved in the return process.

The above-mentioned objectives will be achieved through a series of interrelated activities in accordance with REGULATION (EU) № 516/2014 and more specifically:
- Study of experience and practices in some countries of destination and origin – cases from the Republic of Greece, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Iraq;
- Review and analysis of the return policy "Return policy in the new environment";
- Training of personnel;
- Development of a distance learning course on current issues of the return of third-country nationals;
- Activities related to dissemination and publicity.

The project is based entirely on the necessity and urgent needs to increase the effectiveness of the return policy on the EU and national level. Better coordination and exchange between EU Member States and enhanced cooperation with countries of origin will improve and more effectively regulate the return mechanism thus guaranteeing the fundamental rights of the returnees/third country nationals.
