Aims
The purpose of EASO’s Policy Working Group is to align on core messaging and outreach at all levels across key policy dossiers which can have a transnational or supranational (EU, WHO, OECD etc) importance to EASO’s work.
Working closely with the EASO Policy Team the Policy Working Group is comprised of content experts from the EASO membership from across different disciplines and geographies already active in policy advocacy at national level.
Remit
The Policy Working Group makes recommendations for priority dossiers for EASO to engage with which contribute to EASO’s overarching policy strategy as well as work towards optimising strategic policy engagement and outreach to other disciplines and stakeholder groups for policy.
The WG members also are the central point for EASO to align on policy recommendations for dossiers at EU, WHO and international levels.
