FRICoRe will present the results achieved throughout the three-year project on 26 and 27 May 2022 in Brussels.
The final conference will provide the opportunity for a cross-sectoral discussion around the key topics of FRICoRe, with particular reference to the effective protection of fundamental rights, the dialogue among the courts as a way for building a European legal culture grounded on fundamental rights and the role of the judge in the implementation of the principles of effectiveness, proportionality and dissuasiveness of sanctions and remedies against infringements of rights guaranteed by EU law.
The cross-sectoral approach will allow exploring these issues with reference to the five legal areas of the project, from consumer protection to data protection and from non-discrimination to health law and immigration and asylum.
The conference will bring together European and national judges, also from countries not directly involved in the project consortium, as well as lawyers and academics from the project partner institutions.
