We are pleased to present the July-September 2025 edition of the Quarterly Review, featuring the latest updates from the Prague Process.

The work during the third quarter focused on strengthening practical cooperation, building capacities, combating human trafficking, and engaging young professionals. The Prague Process organised a training in Vienna on countering trafficking in human beings together with the Joint Operational Office (JOO) of the Criminal Intelligence Service of Austria, enhancing the capacities of practitioners and reinforcing cooperation across borders. Complementing this, the Austrian NGO LEFÖ shared their experience and cooperation models with government agencies, outlining specific approaches to providing support and counselling to female victims of human trafficking. Furthermore, ICMPD’s 2025 International Summer School on Migration gathered students and young professionals from five countries in Armenia, equipping the next generation with up-to-date knowledge and analytical tools on migration issues. 

Intergovernmental cooperation also advanced during this period. At Ukraine’s request, Czech Republic and Lithuania joined the online consultation on citizenship matters, promoting knowledge exchange and policy dialogue among partner states. Meanwhile, building on years of cooperation with national authorities, ICMPD reached a milestone with the launch of Uzbekistan’s first-ever Migrant Resource Centre, offering essential information and support to migrants and their families.

In the meantime, the Migration Observatory continued to strengthen the evidence base for policy and research by updating country factsheets for several EU and Western Balkans states. Finally, the Training Academy expanded its learning opportunities with the Russian-language version of the online course “Introduction to Migration Studies,” further broadening opportunities to remote learning.
