Inga Broerse (LLM) is junior lecturer in migration law at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her research focuses on EU law, migration and human rights. In June 2024 she completed her Master’s thesis with the title 'The Italy-Albania Agreement: externalising asylum procedures in violation of human rights' which has been assessed with a 9.0.
The main research question of this thesis was what consequences the agreement between Italy and Albania to externally process asylum applications have for human rights. While the Italy-Albania agreement is the first tangible agreement on external processing of asylum applications on European soil, this thesis analysed a new dimension of externalisation of responsibility in the EU context – in comparison to international examples.
In 2022, Inga has completed a BA with Honours in European Studies at the University of Amsterdam, with a focus on EU migration and asylum law. During the bachelor, Inga published her first article in 2020 in European and Regional Studies ‘Between Mobility and Inclusion: The Position of Mother Tongue Instruction in Sweden and Denmark.’
She has a broad experience, as previous student-assistant for European Studies at the University of Amsterdam, as candidate and volunteer for the political party Volt, and more recently as research intern for the European Migration Network (National Contact Point for the Netherlands) at the Department of Research and Analysis of the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND).
