On 20th October 2020, MCEL member Assistant Professor Lilian Tsourdi jointly convened an inter-institutional webinar with Dr. Salvo Nicolosi, Assistant Professor in Utrecht and RENFORCE member. The MCEL/RENFORCE webinar brought together academics and policy-makers to comment the New Pact on Migration and Asylum released by the European Commission on the 23rd September 2020.

The webinar was attended by over 100 participants.
Apart from the co-convenors, the webinar featured the contributions of MCEL co-director Prof. Bruno De Witte, Prof. Daniel Thym (University of Konstanz), Ms. Nanda Kellij (Dutch Ministry of Justice), Prof. Philippe De Bruycker (Université libre de Bruxelles & Odysseus Network), Prof. Dina Siegel (University of Utrecht), Prof. Paul Minderhoud (Universities of Utrecht & Nijmegen), and MEP Tineke Strik (Group of the Greens MEP & University of Nijmegen).
