Workshop for judges and administrative judges

The main purpose of this workshop is to raise awareness of EU Nature Legislation and to provide a forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience. A further objective is to involve the national Judicial Training Centres (incl. Training Centres for Prosecutors) in order to enhance, in the long term, the benefits of this EU programme. For this purpose, the training materials are developed in a way which allows their rapid update and adaptation to the needs at the national level.

The workshops will be held in English.
