The funded project will complement the work of the EUAA Information and Analysis Sector in the framework of the EUAA Case Law Database. In addition, it will contribute to situational awareness products, EUAA databases and both operational and strategic outputs of the EUAA, which analyse the latest court decisions affecting national policies and practices related to international protection.

With this call, the EUAA will fund research and analysis of relevant jurisprudence on international protection, registration of these cases in the EUAA Case Law Database and drafting analytical reports on jurisprudence on relevant asylum thematic areas. This includes the following:

• Research across public databases, websites and other publicly accessible sources to gather relevant judgments, decisions, and interim measures on international protection as pronounced by appeal bodies, including the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), national courts, tribunals, non-judicial or quasi-judicial bodies of EU+ countries (consisting of EU Member States, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland) and, where relevant, UN bodies.
• Analyse the collected jurisprudence to identify the most relevant judgments/decisions for the implementation of the CEAS and for the fulfilment of international obligations of EU+ countries in matters of asylum and reception conditions. To determine the most relevant judgments/decisions on asylum, refer to the methodology available in the EUAA Case Law Database, in the ‘About’ page.
• Draft comprehensive summaries in English based on the original judgment/decision and register the respective cases in the EUAA Case Law Database, after review by the EUAA, adhering to the established EUAA methodology available in the ‘About’ page of the EUAA Case Law Database, and to the templates that will be provided upon signature of the Grant Agreement.
• Produce comparative analysis of the jurisprudence gathered, focusing on identifying landmark cases, patterns and trends in interpretations, as well as novel interpretations and clarifications of concepts and procedures. Develop thematic products based on jurisprudence related to international protection and other relevant analytical case law products that contribute to CEAS implementation.

Outputs:

• Enriched collection of judgments, decisions and interim measures from appeal bodies in international protection cases, including the preparation of summaries in English (subject to review by the EUAA), reflecting the latest trends and developments in asylum jurisprudence.
• Enhanced standardisation for research through registration of relevant judgments/decisions on asylum in EU+ countries, in the EUAA Case Law Database, after review by the EUAA of the selected case law.
• Analytical products on specific themes in asylum case law – thematic analyses and other relevant outputs on international protection jurisprudence made publicly available to stakeholders via the EUAA Case Law Database and the EUAA website.
• Input of asylum case law to situational awareness products, platforms and both operational and strategic analysis of the EUAA, considering relevant developments in asylum.

Financial support to third parties will be accepted in projects which aim to involve students to deliver the research, analysis or other relevant tasks. Project application must clearly specify why financial support to third parties is needed, how it will be managed and provide a list of the different types of activities for which a third party may receive financial support. The proposal must also clearly describe the results to be obtained. The call under which the third parties (students) are selected must conform to EU standards concerning transparency, equal treatment, conflict of interest and confidentiality.
