Why is the EELN Annual Seminar important?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

The seminar is one of the yearly highlights for lawyers working in the equality and non-discrimination field, as well as the 70+ legal experts working for the network. It constitutes an invaluable occasion to share practices and experiences with peers from all over Europe and to discuss recent developments in EU law such as recent case law from the Court of Justice of the EU and from the European Court of Human Rights. It also serves as an occasion to not only share practices, but also to present the work and publications undertaken during the year.<\/p>\n
