The European Centre for Judges and Lawyers – EIPA Luxembourg – for three consecutive years held a conference on the theme ‘The European Union Civil Service Law’. These were a great success and attracted the enthusiasm of many participants, including judges from the European Union Civil Service Tribunal, legal representatives of the European institutions, university professors, and lawyers specialised in this field. In this context, EIPA wishes to repeat the experience by organising the 4th annual conference exploring some of the recent developments and specific points of the subject.
