Event Description

What is this course about?

For five consecutive years, EIPA’s European Centre for Judges and Lawyers (ECJL) in Luxembourg has held a conference on the theme ‘European Union Civil Service Law’. These have been a great success and attracted the enthusiasm of many participants, including judges from the European Union Civil Service Tribunal (now defunct) and General Court, legal representatives of the European institutions, university professors and lawyers specialised in this field. In light of this, EIPA wishes to repeat the experience by organising the 6th Annual Conference. This will be an occasion to explore some of the recent developments in both substantive and procedural law.

How will it help you?
The aim of the conference is two-fold: first, to inform participants about recent developments in the case law of the General Court and to look in more detail at specific issues regarding civil service litigation in the EU, including those which are currently on the agenda; and secondly, to provide scope for a debate and a critical assessment of this case law among the key actors concerned, namely judges, lawyers and staff of the institutions.

In addition to traditional presentations, this year’s conference will focus on discussions between the experts and participants.

Who will benefit most?
The conference is geared towards civil servants and officials of the EU institutions and agencies who are responsible for staff and/or legal services and deal with issues relating to public administration; members of trade unions and professional organisations of the EU; lawyers specialised in public administration litigation in the EU; national experts of public administration; as well as officials of international, non-EU organisations who are responsible for staff matters.
