Detailed Call Description
The 2024 EUAF Work Programme provides for a specific call for proposals to provide financial support for training, conferences, seminars, studies, webinars and e-learning activities.
The following actions can be funded: comparative law studies and periodical publications
- Developing relevant high-profile research, including studies in comparative law.
- Disseminating relevant information through periodical publications.
The expected results from the activities, together with the indicators enabling them to be measured, are as follows: the development of high-profile research, including comparative law studies, as measured by the number of research activities and comparative law studies co-financed and their quality and originality. The dissemination activities should make the judiciary and other branches of the legal profession more aware of the need to protect the financial interests of the Union.
This will be measured by the number of academic or scientific publications distributed to stakeholders and the type and number of methods of disseminating relevant academic or scientific knowledge. Indicators like metrics for measuring the impact of academic or scientific publications, such as the citation index or the impact factor, can be used, if grant beneficiaries are unable to provide other indicators.
