CEU’s participants to the 2015 Allianz summer academy organized a round table on June 1st to discuss their preliminary report entitled: “Open Borders, Closed Minds:  EU Asylum Policy in Crisis”. The event attracted participants from CEU as well as the Hungarian civil society. The discussion surrounding the report raised a number of critical issues concerning the implementation of EU asylum policies as well as the domestic treatment of asylum seekers and the effects of current political developments in Hungary.
