Goals / Remit
The European Centre for Economic and Policy Analysis and Affairs (ECEPAA) is a Belgian non-profit research organization founded in 2011. It is specialized in the development of European Union projects in the fields of social inclusion, education, youth and migrant. The association, thanks to the use of funding from different programs, aims to contribute to the knowledge of topics related to social exclusion, the climate change as push factor on migration, the persistent difficulties of the marginalized population due to economic, cultural, class, race and gender reasons. By sharing the achieved knowledge through a bottom-up approach will contribute to better address the above-mentioned issues.
Main EU files targeted
Migration Policies:
ECEPAA engages in the analysis and evaluation of legislative proposals related to the regulation of migration flows within the European Union. This includes examining policies on legal migration channels, border control, and the comprehensive management of migration. Our focus is on ensuring that migration policies are fair, effective, and aligned with human rights standards.
Asylum Policies:
ECEPAA examines and advocates for policies concerning the asylum process. This includes legislative proposals on asylum procedures, the rights of refugees, and humanitarian assistance for displaced populations. Our goal is to promote policies that uphold the dignity and rights of asylum seekers and ensure their fair treatment throughout the asylum process.
Education Policies:
ECEPAA is invested in legislative initiatives related to education at the EU level. Our work includes promoting inclusive and accessible education, addressing educational disparities, and supporting lifelong learning initiatives. We advocate for policies that ensure equitable access to quality education for all, particularly marginalized and disadvantaged groups.
Migrant Integration Policies:
Migrant integration is a critical focus for ECEPAA. We contribute to the discussion and analysis of policies aimed at facilitating the social, economic, and cultural integration of migrants within European societies. Our efforts aim to promote policies that support the successful integration of migrants, fostering cohesive and inclusive communities.
ECEPAA’s engagement with specific legislative proposals or policies may vary over time, reflecting changes in EU priorities and emerging challenges. We actively collaborate with policymakers, conduct comprehensive research, and advocate for policies that align with our mission and objectives in social inclusion, education, youth, and migrant issues. Through our work, we aim to influence policy development to create more inclusive and equitable societies within the EU.Address
