EU Law Rights and Remedies before National Courts: the 6th edition of the Turin Spring School on EU Integration, Law and Justice

The sixth edition of the Turin Spring School on EU Integration, Law and Justice took place at the University of Turin from 28 to 30 May 2025. This year’s edition, hosted by the Jean Monnet Chair “Civic Engagement, Rights and Remedies in EU Law”, focused on the evolving system of judicial protection in the EU, exploring the role of national courts in ensuring the effectiveness of EU rights and remedies, and addressing key issues such as direct effect, primacy, and judicial cooperation.

From 28 to 30 May 2025, the sixth edition of the Turin Spring School on EU Integration, Law and Justice was held at the Luigi Einaudi Campus of the University of Turin, focusing on the theme:
“EU Law Rights and Remedies before National Courts: Continuity and Change.”

The Spring School offered a critical reflection on the evolution of remedies provided by EU law before national courts, exploring topics such as:

  • the direct effect of the Charter of Fundamental Rights,
  • the primacy of EU law,
  • judicial cooperation.

The School, organised within the framework of UNITA – Universitas Montium,
hosted 35 participants, including university students, PhD candidates, and research fellows
from 12 European universities.

Over the three days, the programme featured lectures by internationally renowned experts in EU law,
who addressed key theoretical and practical issues related to the protection of rights and the effectiveness of judicial remedies within the EU legal order.

The event, organised in collaboration with the Italian Society for International Organization – Piedmont and Aosta Valley Section,
is part of the activities of the Jean Monnet Chair “Civic Engagement, Rights and Remedies in EU Law” (Prof. Stefano Montaldo),
and falls within the scope of Hub 3 – Environment and Climate Change of the Department of Law’s Excellence Project.

The scientific committee of the Turin Spring School includes:
Francesco Costamagna, Alberto Miglio, Stefano Montaldo, and Virginia Passalacqua.
Leonardo Labriola also contributed to the organisation of this year’s edition.
