European Asylum Support Office (EASO) / European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA)

The European Asylum Agency (EUAA), which replaced the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) in 2022, facilitates, coordinates and promotes intergovernmental cooperation on asylum issues. The agency provides support to Schengen countries subject to particular pressures on their asylum and reception systems. Switzerland entered into an agreement with the EU on EASO participation and is now considering possible arrangements for participating in the EUAA.
