In collaboration with the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE) and the International Council of Voluntary Agencies (ICVA), the UNHCR Regional Bureau for Europe is organising the 2021 Regional Consultations with non-governmental organisations (NGOs).

Building on existing regular Regional Dialogues launched in July 2020 and on its first session organized on EU affairs on the 6 July 2021, the final 2021Consultations will be opened by Pascale Moreau, UNHCR Regional Director for Europe and will include the following three sessions :
