# National School of Judges of Ukraine Develops EU Law Education Strategy

The National School of Judges of Ukraine initiated the development of a comprehensive five-year strategy for judicial education in European Union law, following its second Advisory Expert Council meeting on September 17, 2026. This strategic effort supports Ukraine's EU candidate status by aligning judicial training with European legal standards through 2030, emphasizing practical application and continuous education for judges. The initiative involves collaboration with prominent legal scholars and judges, aiming to modernize judicial competencies in line with Ukraine's European integration commitments.

- This strategy signals increased demand for educational services, curriculum development, and training program procurement focused on EU law for the Ukrainian judiciary.
- Procurement professionals should anticipate opportunities related to the design, delivery, and evaluation of judicial education programs aligned with EU legal frameworks.
- International legal education providers and consulting firms specializing in EU law may find strategic partnerships or contract opportunities with Ukrainian judicial institutions.
- The initiative reflects broader government priorities to modernize judicial systems, which may influence future procurement planning and funding allocations in legal education and capacity building.
