A look back at the EUAA #StateOfAsylum Conference 2026. The Conference brought together colleagues, experts and partners to exchange on the implementation of the Pact, the role of digitalisation in asylum and reception, and the opportunities and challenges presented by AI.

Last week, the @EU_Commission, @Frontex, the EUAA, and delegations from all six Western Balkan partners met in Brussels to take stock of progress on contingency planning and crisis preparedness, and to shape priorities for the next phase of EU-funded regional support for 2027-30.

Approximately 100 days after the Pact on Migration and Asylum entered into application, the EUAA Management Board met for its 61st meeting to discuss several developments linked to its implementation and the EUAA’s work.

How can digitalisation support asylum and reception systems as the Pact is implemented? The discussion examined the role of technology, data and interoperable systems in transforming asylum and reception management.

Speaking at the EUAA #StateOfAsylum Conference 2026, Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen stressed that implementing the Pact means “working differently, with better coordination, better information sharing, and smarter use of technology.”

What are the first lessons from putting the Pact on Migration and Asylum into practice? The panel discussed the progress made so far, implementation challenges and the work ahead to strengthen the Common European Asylum System.
