How does EU administrative law shape the functioning of the EU administration?

EU administrative law addresses key legal and governance issues related to the functioning of the EU administration. It encompasses both substantive and procedural aspects of the implementation of EU law and provides the legal-policy framework necessary for the EU administration to operate as a multilevel system, ensuring the effective application and enforcement of EU law.

Join our panel discussion, bringing together reputed academic experts and officials from the EU institutions, as we discuss recent challenges and developments in EU administrative law. The discussion will explore both broad, cross-cutting issues and specific concerns, examining the opportunities and obstacles associated with the current level of EU administrative integration and the practical realities of implementing EU law.

This panel discussion will deepen your understanding of the core principles of EU administrative law and the latest developments in the implementation of EU law and policies. It will also provide valuable insights for working with or within the EU administration—whether as a citizen, stakeholder, national civil servant, or EU official.
