We, the Academy of European Law (ERA), are a leading continuing education institute and a partner of the European institutions. Established as a public not-for-profit foundation under private law, our mission is to improve the understanding and application of European law by training legal practitioners and by providing them with a forum for debate. With the support of the European Union, our team of some 75 staff from 15 different countries designs and organises more than 200 conferences and courses on European law every year at our headquarters in Trier (Germany) and at other locations across Europe, as face-to-face, online or hybrid events. We also provide an e-learning platform and produce publications, in particular the quarterly legal journal ERA Forum.
