Action grants to support European judicial training

The 2016 call for Action grants to support European Judicial Training was launched by the European Commision last week.

Description of the call – The aim of this call is to contribute to the effective and coherent application of EU law in the areas of civil law, criminal law and fundamental rights, by covering training needs’ gaps in these fields. The proposed training activities can also include the following topics: development of linguistic skills of legal practitioners; knowledge of the legal systems of the Member States; the use of the search tool of the European Case Law Identifier (ECLI) to identify foreign judicial decisions, notably in the context of the “acte clair” doctrine of the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU).

The deadline for applying for an Action grant is 16 November 2016 17:00:00.

6 weeks to submit proposals to receive European Commission Grants.

On 31 August, the European Commission published a call for proposals for action grants to support transnational projects on judicial training covering civil law, criminal law, fundamental rights and fight against terrorism and radicalization. The deadline for submitting projects is now only 6 weeks away, on 16 November 2015. New top priorities this year are radicalization and fight against terrorism. Exchange of lawyers can also be funded through this programme. More information about these action grants can be found here.
