The European e-Justice Action Plan for 2019-2023 encompassed three strategic objectives that remain valid today, namely: access to information in the field of justice; electronic communications between judicial authorities, citizens and legal professionals; and interoperability between judicial applications and domains. Within the area of freedom, security and justice, access to justice is a fundamental right in the European Union, enshrined in Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Article 47 of the CFREU, which guarantees the right to an effective remedy and an impartial tribunal.

At this conference on the digitization of justice in the EU, open to all with an interest in this area, we hope to exchange practical experiences and discuss interoperability, the e-codex system, cross-border court proceedings, the recent e-evidence package as well as the Regulation on the digitization of judicial cooperation and access to justice and data protection as a fundamental right, in a dialog between academia and practitioners from the European Commission (DG JUST), Eurojust, eu-LISA, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, and magistrates from the Portuguese Supreme Court and the PGR, necessary to understand the challenges we face now and in the near future.

The conference, under the scientific coordination of researcher Dr. Gema Souto, will take place on October 11 in Braga, in the Noble Auditorium of the Law School of the University of Minho (EDUM), starting at 9:30 a.m. and ending at 5:30 p.m. and will be organized by JusGov, the Justice and Governance Research Centre (Juslab/CEDU).
