Advanced training in EU antitrust law
- Forum for Judges
This project aims to improve national judges’ knowledge of specific issues related to the implementation of antitrust rules, and at raising their awareness of recent trends. A core goal of this project is to create a forum for discussion, exchange of experiences and identification of best practices across the EU.
It consists of 6 decentralised seminars, each of which will deal with antitrust challenges common to all Member States’ jurisdictions but also particularities and topics of interest of each selected group of Member States.
In the framework of this project, national judges will also have the opportunity to attend the 5-day ERA Summer Course on EU Competition Law, which aims to provide them with an in-depth understanding and a comprehensive update on the latest developments in this field through lectures, case studies and workshops.
