For five consecutive years, EIPA’s European Centre for Judges and Lawyers (ECJL) in Luxembourg has held a conference on the theme ‘European Union Civil Service Law’. These have been a great success and attracted the enthusiasm of many of you, including judges from the European Union Civil Service Tribunal (now defunct) and General Court, legal representatives of the European institutions, university professors and lawyers specialised in this field. In light of this, EIPA wishes to repeat the experience by organising the 6th Annual Conference. This will be an occasion to explore some of the recent developments in both substantive and procedural law.

The aim of the conference is two-fold: first, to inform you about recent developments in the case law of the General Court and to look in more detail at specific issues regarding civil service litigation in the EU, including those which are currently on the agenda; and secondly, to provide scope for a debate and a critical assessment of this case law among the key actors concerned, namely judges, lawyers and staff of the institutions.

In addition to traditional presentations, this year’s conference will focus on discussions between you and our experts.
