The Conference takes place in the framework of the project managed by the Centre on Judicial Cooperation (EUI), entitled European Judicial Cooperation in the Fundamental Rights Practice of National Courts (JUDCOOP) – The unexplored potential of judicial dialogue methodology, carried out with the support of the European Commission, DG Justice (JUST/2012/FRAC/AG/2755). The JUDCOOP Project includes one academic institution, the European University Institute (EUI), and several national judicial organisations (from Croatia, Italy, Poland, Romania and Spain) and transnational judicial organisations (the Association of European Administrative Judges). The objective of the Project is to promote and develop dialogue between European judges, by exploring concrete dimensions of judicial cooperation in the area of European Fundamental Rights. The Centre for Judicial Cooperation has created a network between judges, scholars and practitioners for the purpose of discussing current and past cases in which episodes of dialogue or judicial interaction have occurred, or could have occurred. The aim of this exercise is to identify and classify the tools of interaction between courts in the protection of fundamental rights for the purpose of demonstrating their usefulness in the day-to-day adjudication practice of national judges.
