Academy of European Law ERA reposted this
During last month’s meeting of the EU Network of National Coordinators and Rapporteurs on trafficking in human beings in Brussels, the EU Anti-Trafficking Coordinator officially launched the EU Anti-Trafficking Hub. Under the coordination of Ecorys, the Academy of European Law ERA has partnered together with La Strada International, CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies) and HEUNI, the European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control to implement the Hub over the coming years. The Hub will support the EU Anti-Trafficking Coordinator in developing EU policies to combat and prevent trafficking in human beings and protect its victims. It will also support the implementation of the EU Strategy on Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings and the EU Anti-Trafficking Directive. We look forward to working together with the other consortium partners and the European Commission in moving forward the EU’s anti-trafficking agenda.

🎓 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸: 𝗬𝗘𝗟𝗔 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! YELA 2025, the Young European Lawyers Academy, has just concluded its summer edition – and what a rich programme it has been for the 35 early-career lawyers from across Europe who joined us in Trier, Luxembourg and Strasbourg. 𝗔 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝘅 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 🗓️ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭: We began with a warm welcome from Viktor Vadász, Director of Programmes at ERA, who reminded us that mutual trust is the oil for the EU to function. Participants immediately immersed themselves in practical sessions on EU litigation and the preliminary ruling procedure, led by experts including Bram Hoorelbeke and Maarja Pild-Freiberg. 📱 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝟮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟯 covered key areas such as digital regulation and data protection, including the AI Act, the Digital Services Act and GDPR. With guidance from legal experts such as Dr. Christina Möllnitz-Dimick, Dr. Dory Reiling, Isabela Maria Rosal and Olivier Belleflamme, participants applied concepts through workshops and case studies. ⚖️ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟰 took us to the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg. Participants observed a live hearing, and met Judge Anna Marcoulli for a behind-the-scenes conversation on the inner workings of the CJEU. 📚 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟱 centred on the rule of law in a digital environment. Judge Goran Selanec led sessions on algorithmic challenges and the European Union’s legal tools to safeguard democracy. Participants also reviewed the practical use of digital tools in legal practice with Salim Feghali. 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟲 was full of culture: with a tour of the historic city of Trier in the morning and its annual city festival in the evening, there was plenty to discover! 🏛️ 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝟳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟴 brought us to Strasbourg. At the European Court of Human Rights, participants heard from Judge Davor Derenčinović, following a presentation by the Court Registry. At the European Parliament, the group received insights into the legislative procedures of the EU. 🍷 Alongside the training programme, a balanced social programme offered wine tasting in the Moselle vineyards, guided tours of Trier and Strasbourg, and shared dinners – creating memorable experiences and fostering lasting professional connections. 🤝 𝗬𝗘𝗟𝗔 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 Organised by ERA with Mareike Hoffmann overseeing the project and co-funded by the European Union, YELA is supported by CCBE, a strong network of national bar associations and the European Young Bar Association, working together to support the next generation of legal practitioners across Europe. To all our participants – thank you for your energy, insight and enthusiasm! #YELA2025 #EUlaw #YoungLawyers #ERA #YELP
