Logo of the EUDA 2026 presidency of the EU Justice and Home Affairs Agencies’ Network (JHAAN)

This meeting is organised under the EUDA’s one-year presidency of the EU Justice and Home Affairs Agencies’ Network (JHAAN). Under the theme One Safety — building preparedness and resilient communities, the presidency promotes a cross-sector, integrated approach to building a safer, fairer and more resilient EU.

The objectives of this meeting are to discuss how to:

  • strengthen monitoring by using existing data collection tools
  • improve prison preparedness by identifying new data sources
  • address key health and security issues related to drugs in prison settings, such as comorbidity and drug trafficking
  • promote the implementation of effective, evidence‑based interventions in prisons
  • support training and competence development by reinforcing synergies between countries and international organisations
  • ensure better preparedness for emerging and future challenges.
