The EUAA contact point at the BAMF supports the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community as an interface, as well as the various specialist departments of the BAMF, in carrying out their many tasks in the networks and specialist fora operated by the EUAA. These networks serve the purpose of long-term cooperation between the EUAA and experts from the Member States with the aim in mind of promoting the exchange of best practices and expertise in order to be better able to live up to the challenges of asylum-related migration in the future. In addition to the networks, which were established on a long-term basis, the EUAA furthermore also heads working groups in which cooperation work is carried out in specific areas for a limited period of time. Depending on requirements, the working groups for instance help develop standards, indicators, practical tools, guidelines and reports on countries of origin.
