Objective
This conference aims at promoting advanced knowledge, exchange of experiences and best practices between judges, prosecutors and lawyers in private practice from EU Member States who are dealing with criminal proceedings where e-evidence is involved. This will improve participants' knowledge of the strategies and techniques used in different European countries and will ultimately improve cross-border cooperation among Member States’ authorities.
