CEP at the European Judicial Training Conference 2024
CEP Secretary General Jana Spero and CEP Board member Daniel Danglades represented CEP at the European Judicial Training Conference at Judicial Training Institute IGO in Brussels (25-26 April 2024).
The Conference was organised by the European Commission as the current European Judicial Training Strategy is elapsing at the end of 2024. As part  of preparations for the next Strategy, practitioners and network organisations had opportunity to express training needs. It aimed to discuss elements of the future European Judicial Training Strategy that will upskill in the use of digital tools and infrastructure, create a supportive environment towards digitalisation of justice and build-up the knowledge of justice professionals on the adaptation of substantive EU law to the needs of the digital economy and society.
Programme of the Conference can be found here.
