Call content
short description | Justice practitioners must be able to adapt to new developments, including in the area of EU law. It is important that a flexible response is brought to emerging EU law training needs. More justice professionals should attend training on EU law and training providers should improve the EU law training on offer, whether national or crossborder, and whether or not EU (co-)funded. European judicial training should also go beyond legal education and support the development of professional skills. This call supports training of members of the judiciary and judicial staff, meaning judges, prosecutors, court and prosecution offices’ staff, other justice professionals associated with the judiciary, such as lawyers in private practice, notaries, bailiffs, insolvency practitioners and mediators, as well as court interpreters and translators, prison and probation staff. |
Call objectives | This call supports training of members of the judiciary and judicial staff. The activities may cover EU civil, criminal and fundamental rights law, legal systems of the Member States, and the rule of law. Priority will notably be given to training on the following topics:

other eligibility criteria | Each project should include training activities that are tailored to the daily professional needs, practical, interactive and accessible to all learners, including practitioners with disabilities, irrespective of the format(s) of the activities: face-toface, blended, hybrid or online format. The gender equality perspective should be taken into account when designing the ‘format’ of the training activities and gender balanced participation in training activities must be promoted and ensured. Moreover, a gender-sensitive approach should be taken for the identification of best practices, data collection (including sex-disaggregated statistics) and information dissemination. Training activities must include participants from different participating countries. For face-to-face or hybrid activities – when they can take place in view of the sanitary situation, travel and accommodation costs of the participants should be planned. While the pandemic situation has improved, all projects should plan the possible disruption of travel and face-to-face activities, so that such disruption does not hinder reaching the project’s objectives and implementing its activities. This call may support training activities such as:
These training activities will be funded only when there is no equivalent activity which is already covered by the operating grant of the European Judicial Training Network (EJTN). Training activities can take place in the context of initial training (pre-service or induction period – for example training activities to familiarise newly appointed justice professionals with EU legislation and judicial cooperation instruments) or continuous training of the participants (for example more specialised training activities for practicing justice professionals). |
