Second judges@europe forum in Syracuse (Italy) from 25 to 27 October 2023

The European Judicial Training Network (EJTN) is honoured to invite judges of the European Union to the second edition of the judges@europe forum to be held on 25-27 October 2023 at the Siracusa International Institute for Criminal Justice and Human Rights in Syracuse, Italy. Application is open to all judges in the EU through a self-application process (Apply before 21 June 23:59).

This edition will focus on the good administration of justice from three different angles, all of which relate to the rule of law: accountability through disciplinary and liability regimes; accountability through performance and performance control; and accountability through transparency.

The second edition of the judges@europe forum continues building upon the Council Conclusions “Boosting Training of Justice Professionals” of 8 March 2021. The European Commission entrusts EJTN with organising a forum fostering dialogue among judges, facilitating exchanges between them on topics relating to the rule of law as well as the integrity, accountability and independence of the judiciary.

You will find all information on our dedicated website. The agenda will be communicated to the selected participants at a later stage. Only 3 participants per country (drawn by lot).

Please note that the President of the European Court of Human Rights, Síofra O’Leary, has confirmed her participation.
