EMN Glossary
The Glossary provides common definitions and understanding of terms in the field of asylum and migration which are then used, for example, in the formulation of queries and undertaking of studies according to common specifications by the EMN National Contact Points. The Glossary is also used to develop the EMN Thesaurus, the purpose of which is to permit the structured searching of documents within the EMN's Information Exchange System.
The significant number of terms, currently totalling some 300, reflects the complex nature of asylum and migration; this publication also serves as a common reference guide.
You can also find a version of the Glossary with hyperlinks on the website of the European Migration Network.
