AIAKOS Programme

The AIAKOS programme offers a unique exchange platform for future and early-career judges and prosecutors to learn and exchange views about different national judicial systems, foster mutual trust and raise their awareness of the European dimension of their (future) work. 

The AIAKOS Programme is held 4 times a year (2 weeks in Spring session and 2 weeks in Autumn session). If you are interested, please liaise with your national training institution to learn more on the organisation of the programme in your country and, if relevant, how and for which countries you can apply.
