FOREWORD SECRETARY GENERAL With great pleasure, I hereby present the calendar of seminars developed by the European Judicial Training Network (EJTN) for. The EJTN is the principal platform and promoter for the training and exchange of knowledge of the European judiciary, with the goal of fostering a common legal and judicial European culture. EJTN represents the interests of over 120,000 European judges, prosecutors and judicial trainers from across Europe and its fields of interest include EU, civil, criminal and commercial law, and linguistics and societal issues training. EJTN s activities are the outcome of cumulative efforts of EJTN Members, encompassing 37 national training institutions from all 28 EU Member States, with the goal of forming a European area of Justice. These efforts include, but are not limited to, identifying training needs, designing training events, identifying experts, and hosting events. They aim not only to increase participants knowledge and/ or skills but also to widen inter-community perspectives. Participation fosters the growth of trust between judges and prosecutors of different EU Member States, improves their linguistic capacity, and assists in the building of personal networks. EJTN s programmes and activities are built on an extensive training needs analysis. These needs are expressed by EJTN Members within the structure of the EJTN Working Group Programmes and its 5 Sub-working Groups, by participants of EJTN activities, numerous partner organisations, including judicial networks and associations, as well as the European institutions and EU Council Presidencies. For concise information on how, when and where to apply, please follow the instructions below. I encourage everyone to take part in the presented seminars and disseminate information on EJTN training opportunities. I also sincerely invite you to take part in the flagship activity of the EJTN, its Exchange Programme and e-training offers.
