FIDE’s most important activity consists in the organisation of biennial FIDE Congresses and the related publications. These congresses are by many considered to be among the most significant and reputable conferences on EU law, bringing together great minds in the area.
The unique FIDE Congresses typically attract approximately 500 participants from all over Europe and beyond. Here, prominent and internationally acknowledged representatives from the academic world meet with judges and advocates general from the Court of Justice of the EU, as well as leading personalities from the General Court of the EU, national supreme courts and other courts, officials from the Commission, the Council, Parliament, national ministries, as well as practicing lawyers. Over several days of intense legal discussions and debates, what could be called the elite of EU law exchange ideas and visions for the development of EU law.
FIDE Congresses are also a perfect occasion to exchange views and expertise on EU law and the different national experiences between the various generations of participants outside the Conference sessions in the ancillary gathering events, such as receptions, cultural events, formal dinners and excursions for participants and their spouses.
The Bulgarian Association for European Law (BAEL – Българска асоциация за eвропейско право) has presided over FIDE since 2021 and is organising the next Congress, which will take place in Sofia, Bulgaria, between 31 May and 3 June 2023.
The topics, chosen taking into consideration their general interest, topicality and relevance for the process of European integration, will be as follows:
I - Mutual Trust, Mutual Recognition and the Rule of Law
II - The new geopolitical dimension of the EU competition and trade policies
III - European Social Union
The Congress will also include a Young FIDE Seminar, a one-day seminar prior to the congress. This offers PhD researchers the opportunity to present their work and converse with other young European lawyers, both academics and practitioners.
