FORUM ON PROCEDURAL LAW OF

THE COURT OF JUSTICE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

FIFTH EDITION

Monday, 27 February 2023, 08:45 - 16:00 CET

The Forum on Procedural Law of the CJEU is twofold. First, it intends to tackle cutting-edge procedural issues which arise in the Court's proceedings and case-law. Second, it aims at providing an update on procedural issues. It takes its name from the intention to have an open dialog among specialists of EU Law and Procedural Law and to foster comparison with other courts, be they domestic or international.

The event is co-organised by Prof. Daniel Sarmiento Ramírez-Escudero (Professor of EU Law, Complutense University of Madrid), Prof. Hélène Ruiz-Fabri (Executive Director, Max Planck Institute Luxembourg) and Prof. Burkhard Hess (Director, Max Planck Institute Luxembourg).

Hybrid Event

The event is taking place at the premises of the MPI Luxembourg. Digital participation is possible. Registration is on a first come, first served basis.

The registration is closed.
