In recent years, in Europe interest in the phenomenon of migration has increased. Since 2004, Poland as a Member State of the European Union has participated in the creation of the Common European Asylum System and implementation of many EU principles in the field of regulation of labor migration. During those 15 years Poland has experienced an influx of refugees from the Russian Federation, the Caucasus states and many other third countries. We also witness numerous tragic events in the Mediterranean region that affect the EU’s migration policy. The European Border and Coast Guard Agency was established in 2005 as the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders, and primarily responsible for coordinating border control efforts.
Migration law becomes an ever-expanding branch that is interesting for both researchers and practitioners. We are aware of the need to explore issues that are dynamically changing migration reality in Poland.
The analytical and research program of the Rule of Law Institute Foundation in cooperation with the European Studies Institute of the Catholic University of Lublin has established “MIGRA – TEAM” – a group of researchers on migration law and policy. During meetings the group of researchers exchange knowledge and present the results of migration scientific research. We do not want to limit ourselves to strictly legal issues, but to extend them to political and sociological perspective.
