Dear colleagues, dear friends of EU law,
I’m thrilled to announce the next FIDE Congress will be organized by the Finnish Association of European Law (FIDE Finland).
Following the successful Congress held in May 2025 by Katowice, for which our association warmly congratulates our Polish colleagues, the XXXII FIDE Congress will take place on 19–22 May 2027 in Helsinki, and will be organized by FIDE Finland, in collaboration with the University of Helsinki.
As is customary, the Congress will focus on three timely topics which are of utmost importance to EU law. Having conferred with the national associations as well as with representatives of the EU institutions, the Board of Directors of FIDE Finland proposed the following topics:
- Topic I – Financing the Priorities of the Union: Budget, Own Resources, Common Debt, Private Investing
- Topic II – The Union’s External Borders and Fundamental Rights
- Topic III – Strategic Autonomy? Legal Construction of European Industrial Policies
In the best traditions of FIDE, the XXXII Congress will convene in Helsinki around 500 experts of EU law. The FIDE Congress offers an unparalleled forum for academics and practitioners alike to meet and discuss these timely topics. Our goal is that these important discussions can occur in the best conditions, in a spirit of collegiality and friendship.
On behalf of FIDE Finland, I cordially invite you to the XXXII FIDE Congress in Helsinki.
