The European Judicial Training Network is pleased to announce a call for applications for a total of six trainers to join the EU-funded project JUST-2024-JTRA-101189956, titled “CiviLink: Connecting Borders through e-CODEX Judicial Training”.
This project, coordinated by the National Institute of Magistracy in Romania, aims to enhance the digital capabilities of judges and court staff across the European Union in the realm of EU judicial cooperation in civil matters. The training programme will focus on Regulations (EU) 2020/1783 and 2020/1784, e-CODEX and EU data protection standards.
The project demonstrates a strong commitment to both the effective application of EU law and the enhancement of digital literacy. It aims to improve understanding of new technologies, boost digital skills and promote the efficient use of digitalised judicial procedures. Through a multifaceted approach, the project offers a comprehensive blended learning programme for over 260 judges and court staff involved in applying EU law in civil cases across six EU Member States. The training includes six transnational and cross-professional seminars, each preceded by an introductory webinar. All training activities are conducted in English.
