All of them represent a high professional level, introducing new technologies and innovation into the European justice system.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, most of our events and competitions were postponed until the situation allowed its correct implementation. However, as the situation has improved greatly, the FBE has been holding back some important events that are part of the identity and nature of this organization.
