The mission of the new office is to facilitate dialogue and exchange, to contribute rapidly to policy developments and to raise the profile of the FRA’s work through events, information sessions and professional meetings. This office will also enable us to develop partnerships, be more responsive to needs on the ground and support the protection of fundamental rights throughout the EU.
