2-Day Seminar on the “EU Charter of Fundamental Rights” (Italy)

Six years into the formal integration of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in the Treaties, the application of the Charter at the EU Member States level is having increasing impact. The Charter can be called upon when resorting to the national jurisdictions for legal questions relating to EU Law. How the Court of Justice has interpreted the Charter rights? Is the Charter useful for the legal practitioners facing the national courts or the Court of Justice of the EU?

Admissions to the two-days training seminar on the “EU Charter of Fundamental Rights” (8-9 April 2016), organised by the European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation (EIUC) are open until 18 March 2016, early bird 1 March 2016 with 10% discount.

The object of this training seminar is to explore the scope and usefulness of the Charter for the legal practitioners facing the national courts or the Court of Justice of the EU, mostly by means of preliminary reference. Beyond illustrating the key features of the Court and essential aspects of its functioning, the training seminar will be dedicated to the analysis of relevant case law in parallel working groups with a view to allow discussion and exchange on specific concrete questions, among which:
- Privacy/Data Protection
- Internal Market
- Asylum and Immigration
- Economic and Social Rights.

The seminar will focus on the Charter’s values, as well as on the main fields of application when a specific appeal is submitted. The academics and experts composing the Training seminar’s faculty are high level well-known professionals and leading professors coming from different European Universities. The seminar’s scientific responsible, Prof. Jean-Paul Jacqué, has contributed – within the Legal Service of the Council of the European Union – to the drafting of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Lectures are conceived for participants with a legal background, and who have legal professional experience or are practicing with a view to enter legal professions. All lectures will be held in English. It is, therefore, essential that all participants understand and speak English fluently.
