In February 2026, the EUAA, in collaboration with the Appeals Authority, delivered a workshop for judicial officers/new members of the Independent Appeals Committees of the Appeals Authority. This is the main workshop to introduce judges to the asylum procedure at the second instance. It focused on:
- the process of assessing evidence and credibility;
- the EU legal framework for assessing evidence and credibility indicators;
- the specific principles and standards applied in assessing evidence and credibility; and
- the EU legal framework for asylum interviews, the management and addressing of issues arising during the oral hearing process, such as prejudices, stereotypes, interpretation, investigation of substantive allegations and credibility.
