EU law and the EEA Agreement afford citizens substantive rights and provide institutional mechanisms that underpin individual rights and guarantee their enforcement. At this international conference, we gather leading European academics to discuss the protection of the rule of law in various contexts and to examine the connection between substantive and institutional guarantees of legal certainty. The conference is a collaboration between the LEVEL project and the Università di Cagliari.
