Ieva Koreivaite from @VU_LT is currently welcoming us to the #VIADUCT_EU Guest Lecture and presenting today's speaker: @MCVinciguerra from @Cambridge_Uni

.@MCVinciguerra's lecture focusses on the EU-Turkey Statement: she will put the Statement into context, assess the impact of the #RefugeeCrisis, give an overview of the Statement's formulation, and finally assess the Statement's current status and future prospects

"The EU-Turkey Statement is often analysed as a key element of the EU's response to the #RefugeeCrisis, but it is also consistent with decades of relations with Turkey as a candidate country"

- @MCVinciguerra from @Cambridge_Uni

"Between 2012-2016, more than 2 million irregular migrants at Europe's borders. Generally speaking, the EU's Agenda on Migration provided for two phases of action: provisional measures, and preventative measures for the future"

- @MCVinciguerra from @Cambridge_Uni
