Since 2012, EIPA’s European Centre for Judges and Lawyers (ECJL) in Luxembourg has held annual conferences on the theme ‘European Union Civil Service Law’. These events have been a great success and attract the enthusiasm of many participants, including judges from the General Court, legal representatives of the European institutions, university professors and lawyers specialised in this field every year. In light of this, EIPA wishes to repeat the experience by organising the 14th Annual Conference. This will be an occasion to explore some of the recent developments in both substantive and procedural law.

The conference is geared towards civil servants and officials of the EU institutions, bodies and agencies who are responsible for legal aspects of human resources management; members of trade unions of the EU institutions; lawyers specialised in EU civil service litigation; national experts of civil service law; as well as officials of international, non-EU organisations who are responsible for staff matters.
