CONFERENCE

A time to share, reflect and act…

Date:Wednesday, 5th March 2025, 9.30am – 4.30pm 

Venue:
Museu Maritim de Barcelona

COMET partners have been engaged over three years in the development of a coordinated network of complementary pathways from Africa to Europe. A partnership of fourteen from seven countries has used its collective experience, expertise and creativity to develop common tools, to advocate for new pathways and to meet political and practical challenges over the lifetime of the project.

Our final conference is an opportunity to share insights, analyse work done – and look to the future. Using Spain as a case study, we will reflect on pitfalls and possibilities in establishing new pathways.

We would be delighted were you to join us – and all the more so were you to join us in person! To register, please fill in the form below
