Coffee with IOM - Episode 4 I Digitalizing Migration Systems: Inside e-RCMS

Welcome to “Coffee with IOM”, our podcast series where we sit down with experts, practitioners, and colleagues to explore the ideas, innovations, and partnerships shaping modern migration governance. In this fourth episode, IOM is pleased to welcome Stan Minne from the Belgian Immigration Office. In this conversation, we explore how digital tools are transforming migration management and strengthening cooperation between authorities through the electronic Readmission Case Management System (e-RCMS). Our guest discusses how digital solutions can support more efficient, transparent, and rights-based return and readmission procedures, while ensuring secure data exchange and the protection of sensitive personal information. Through practical examples and reflections from practitioners, this episode aims to make complex digital systems more understandable and show how they can improve real-world cooperation and case management across borders.
