The Lisbon Network was set up
in 1995 as part of the legal co-operation programmes in order to
enable the different judicial training bodies in Europe to
become better acquainted with each other, exchange information
on matters of common interest and to support, by means of this
dialogue, the setting up or further development of judicial
training facilities in the member States of the Council of
Europe.

training for judges and prosecutors: Strasbourg, September

The
Lisbon Network of the Council of Europe approved
in September 2009 the concept paper for the

furthermore facilitate networking among judges
and prosecutors to enhance their knowledge as
well as consistent support to training
initiatives by interested partners. Following up

a joint effort by a multi-stakeholder working
group under the Project on Cybercrime and the
Lisbon Network of Judicial Training
Institutions.
