“It is truly rewarding for the whole editorial board to see how ERA Forum continues to grow in influence and readership. The journal reflects the wide range of ERA’s training programmes, with contributions drawn from the most outstanding presentations at ERA conferences, and has become a recognised publication in European law.”
