Projects

We implement large-scale projects in a wide variety of legal fields and for very different target groups. Some of these projects, which form part of our judicial training activities, are co-financed by the EU, mainly under the Justice Programme (‘EU Grants’). Others are service contracts on behalf of EU institutions or agencies (‘EU Contracts’). Finally, ERA concludes contracts with public actors, such as ministries or national authorities, and private actors, in particular law firms and other companies (‘Other Contracts’).
