Deadline: 26-Jul-22
The European Commission (EC) is calling for proposals for Training of national judges in EU competition law and judicial cooperation between national competition law judges.
Objectives
- The objective of this call for proposals is to co-finance projects aiming to train national judges in the context of enforcing European competition rules. This includes public and private enforcement of both the Antitrust rules and the State aid rules, thereby increasing the knowledge and know-how of national judges. The final aim is to ensure a coherent and consistent application of EU competition law by national courts.
- These objectives can best be achieved through projects which specifically focus on the role of national judges in the application of EU competition law, their particular needs and work environments and pre-existing training and knowledge.
Funding Information
The available call budget is EUR 1 000 000. This budget might be increased by maximum 20%.
