Following on from the success of past years’ editions, the 2025 Judges@Europe Forum will take place on 21-23 May at the Siracusa International Institute for Criminal Justice and Human Rights. 

The theme of this fourth edition focuses on being a judge in the digital era, covering topics such as judicial independence, the freedom of expression, alternative dispute resolution, digital evidence and disinformation. 

The forum is a collaborative effort made possible by the contributions and dedication of the ad hoc group members of the EJTN Working Group on Programmes: 

Academy of European Law, École nationale de la magistrature, Spanish Judicial School, Romanian National Institute of Magistracy, Slovenian Judicial Training Centre, German Federal Office of Justice, Belgian Judicial Training Institute, Polish National School of Judiciary and Public Prosecution, and Greek National School of the Judiciary. 

The forum is open to national judges from EU Member States (except Denmark), irrespective of their specialisation or their years of experiences. Judges who have already taken part in any of the previous three Forums are excluded from this year’s activity. 

Application deadline is 18 April 2025, 16:00 CEST.
