Welcome to ERA – Academy of European Law

Since 2003, ERA has organised every year a series of seminars devoted to the two European anti-discrimination directives adopted under Article 13 TEC. Directive 2000/43 prohibits all forms of discrimination based on race or ethnic origin in a number of areas. Directive 2000/78 prohibits all forms of discrimination in employment and occupation based on religion or convictions, handicap, age and sexual orientation.

Interaction among participants will be encouraged through periods of discussion and working groups requiring their active participation.

Another seminar for legal practitioners will be organised on 30 November – 1 December dealing exclusively with the recent developments in legislation and jurisprudence of 2009. Other seminars are being organised for university professors and law lecturers (5-6 October) and for members of the judiciary (11-12 May; 25-26 May and 16-17 November).
