The new call for the NUFFIC individual Orange Knowledge Programme scholarship is opened for candidates. 

The T.M.C. Asser Instituut will be organising 2 trainings entitled 'Training on international and transnational criminal law for prosecutors and judges' in 2024. 

  • The French training offers a high-quality training on the prosecution and adjudication of international and transnational crimes to strengthen domestic capacity to prosecute international and transnational crimes in Africa.

  • The Spanish training offers a high-quality training on the prosecution and adjudication of international and transnational crimes to strengthen domestic capacity to prosecute international and transnational crimes in South-America.
