The final conference will be held at Marivaux Hotel in Brussels on the 1st and 2nd of October, 2018.

Its aim is not only to present and discuss the main results achieved through the RE-Jus project but also to identify new perspectives in the judicial dialogue between EU and national courts in the area of enforcement of fundamental rights and rights based on EU law.  

Supreme Court judges and representatives of administrative authorities in the project areas of interest are invited to interact with academics and other legal experts. Together with project partners’ countries’ representatives, the debate will be open to representatives of EU institutions, including the Court of Justice and the European Commission, and to judges and administrative authorities from non-partner countries.
