Registration open – Study visit to the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights – January 18, 2024

As a follow-up of the AEA-EAL – OIRP Białystok – FRA online meeting (Learning about the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and using it effectively in practice), we are delighted to invite Polish speaking colleagues to the Study visit to the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), that will take place on January 18, 2024, in Vienna (Austria). The meeting will be held in partnership with OIRP Białystok and is dedicated to cross-border judicial cooperation in criminal matters and the protection of the environment.

This is a wonderful time of the year in Vienna as the carnival season is in its peak. The tradition of Carnival balls dates back over 100 years and is still alive in the city.

Our colleagues from OIRP Białystok organize an additional attraction – a guided tour in Vienna. The tour will take place the next day after the visit to FRA, on January 19, 2024 (Friday) between 10:00 and 14:00 CET. The meeting point for starting the tour will be Hotel Bellevue at 10:00 CET.

The visit to FRA is free of charge. Also the guided tour is free of charge for the participants of the event.

Please confirm your participation until January 11, 2024, on the following e-mail: office@aea-eal.eu
