The annual department uitje is a wonderful tradition; a one-day trip to explore the countryside around Groningen. This year’s destination: Schiermonnikoog! A day at the beach, but as you can see… academic discussions never stop! 🌊📚

It was great to have Judge Damjan Kukovec of the General Court at the CJEU as a guest in our European Judicial Protection class. Thought-provoking, candid, and inspiring — we are grateful for his visit and the rich discussion on the rule of law, judicial decision making and more! @rug.nl

Today, we celebrated the PhD defense of Christian Thorning, welcoming ‘highly learned opponents’ from @grahambutler.bsky.social Ulla Neergard and others. Congrats to the new doctor! Proposition no. 7 will definitely be worth considering for the next writing crisis!

Discretionary powers are a revered instrument in the toolbox of autocrats. For EU Law Live's weekend edition, I discuss how the Hungarian and (former) Polish government have used discretion and what European courts can do about it. #youngfide @groningeneulaw.bsky.social
