The Centre for Judicial Cooperation, in collaboration with its partners, announces the call for participation for judges to participate in the following Transnational Training Workshop, organised by the InterLex project on 20-21 February 2020 at the premises of European University Institute.
The Transnational Training workshop aims at improving the knowledge of legal practitioners on the challenges related to the application of Private International Law rules to Internet related cases.
The event will be open to 15 participants. Renowned practitioners and lecturers will be invited to speak, and the workshop will include practical sessions involving cases discussion.
Applicants are invited to submit the following documents by 20 December 2019 17 January 2020 (extended deadline) to federica.casarosa@eui.eu :
- A full CV in English;
- Proof of English language skills (certificates, original publications in English, proof of university studies in English or other);
- A brief motivation letter in English explaining the candidate’s reasons of applying, how he or she would benefit from and contribute to the project. This letter should not merely restate the candidate’s CV.
Applicants will be notified about the result of the selection process by 20 January 2020.
Selection Process
The selection process aims to identify participants who will effectively and substantially contribute to dissemination of project results.
Thus, candidates are expected to have:
- An excellent knowledge of English language.
- A general knowledge of and experience in the topic of the workshop.
The selection will ensure the following criteria:
- Single participation principle: no participant can take part in more than one Workshop.
- Inter-disciplinary representativity: the selection will ensure, as much as possible, equal representation of legal practitioners working on civil, criminal and administrative cases. The mix of those three categories shall depend on the topic of a particular workshop.
- Gender balance.
- Age balance.
- Geographical representation: Geographical distribution shall be taken into account, with the aim of selecting participants who work in different areas and regions within the participating countries.
Participants are asked to devote the necessary time to this project. If selected, participants must commit to commit to all sessions of the workshop for which they have been selected. They are also asked to prepare for the Workshop by reading the relevant materials in advance.
Applicants are not required to have participated in similar training programmes before, nor will recent participation in similar training programmes necessarily prevent them from being accepted.
The selected candidates are expected to familiarise themselves with the distributed materials, as well as to be ready to commit to the active participation in the workshop and its follow-up activities.
