Call for proposals for action grants to support transnational projects on judicial training covering civil law, criminal law or fundamental rights

This program provides funding for projects focused on enhancing judicial training across the EU. It primarily targets legal entities involved in justice and judicial training, supporting their efforts to build digital capacity and promote the uniform application of EU law. The program's scope extends to all EU Member States, excluding Denmark, and embraces a broad objective to strengthen the rule of law and cross-border judicial cooperation.

The program funds a variety of projects focused on judicial training, particularly those promoting digitalization and the effective application of EU law in civil, criminal, and fundamental rights areas. It covers costs associated with training activities, materials, and tools, supporting both initial and continuous professional development for justice professionals. Projects are expected to be practical, interactive, and to facilitate discussion and networking, emphasizing a state-of-the-art methodology.

The JUST-2025-JTRA program provides financial support through action grants structured as lump sums. Projects can request a minimum of €100,000, with no specified upper limit, and benefit from a co-financing rate of 90% of the estimated project budget. The typical duration for projects ranges from 12 to 24 months, with a maximum of 36 months, allowing for sufficient time to achieve comprehensive training outcomes.

Applicants and beneficiaries must adhere to specific administrative, legal, and ethical conditions throughout the application and project implementation phases. Key requirements include electronic submission of complete proposals by the deadline, mandatory consortium formation, and adherence to EU values, including gender equality and non-discrimination. Projects must also manage their budgets according to strict eligibility rules and ensure proper documentation and reporting.
