On 28 February 2017, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (commonly known as FRA) celebrates its 10th anniversary by holding a symposium.
The FRA was established by Council Regulation No 168/2007 in 2007. The Agency assists EU institutions and EU member states by providing them with independent expert advice and fundamental rights analysis.
On the occasion of this year's Fundamental Rights Forum, but also in the light of the progress of Vienna as a Human Rights City and the commitment of private individuals to the care and support for refugees, the round table is dedicated to cooperation with civil society.
Over 150 people joined Manfred Nowak, the Austrian Member of the Management Board of the EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) and Scientific Co-Director of the BIM, to welcome Michael O’Flaherty as the new Director of the Agency to Vienna. At the event Michael O’Flaherty introduced not only himself but also his plans and priorities for the Agency for the years to come.
Als österreichisches Mitglied des Verwaltungsrats der EU Agentur für Grundrechte (FRA) lädt Manfred Nowak in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Haus der Europäischen Union herzlich zum diesjährigen FRA-Roundtable ein. Der Runde Tisch widmet sich, anlässlich der EU-weiten LGBT-Umfrage der FRA, die Erfahrungen von mehr als 93.000 LGBT- Personen aus der gesamten Europäischen Union zusammenführt, 2013 dem Thema "Die Situation von LGBT-Personen in Europa".
