EFFORTS (Towards more EFfective enFORcemenT of claimS in civil and commercial matters within the EU) is an EU-funded Project conducted by the University of Milan (coord.), the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law, the University of Heidelberg, the Free University of Brussels, the University of Zagreb, and the University of Vilnius.
The EFFORTS Project tackles, notably, the Brussels Ibis Regulation and the Regulations on the European Enforcement Order, the European Small Claims Procedure, the European Payment Order, and the European Account Preservation Order. By investigating the implementation of these Regulations in the national procedural law of, respectively, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, and Luxembourg, the Project aims at enhancing the enforcement of claims through more efficient procedures, case management, and cooperation in cross-border disputes.
The first edition of the EFFORTS Newsletter was just issued and is available here.

HCCH Internship Applications Now Open
Applications are now open for three- to six-month legal internships at our Permanent Bureau in The Hague, for the period from July to December 2021.
Interns work with our legal teams in the areas of Family and Child Protection Law, Legal Cooperation, Dispute Resolution, Commercial and Financial Law. It’s a great way to gain practical experience, deepen your knowledge of private international law, and to understand how the HCCH functions.
Due to the current global situation and the associated travel limitations and restrictions, the Permanent Bureau of the HCCH may consider the possibility that internships be carried out remotely. Interns may also be eligible for a monthly stipend.
We encourage you to share this opportunity with law students and graduates within your networks.
Applications should be submitted by 2 April 2021. For more information, please visit the Internships section of the HCCH website.

Workshop Gender and Private International Law (GaP) May 6-7, 2021
The transdisciplinary research project on gender and private international law, which held its kickoff meeting in November 2019 followed by a reading group in Hamburg, will now hold its (postponed) big workshop on May 6-7, 2021. Over the past two years we have worked to create a transdisciplinary field of study at the intersection of feminist and gender studies and private international law. The workshop will establish cross-teaching between disciplines. It will consist of discussion groups covering the pressing topics of transnational surrogacy, the interaction between Western and Islamic family law, and the transnational regulation of queer families. Cyra Choudhury (Florida International University), Susanne Gössl (Kiel), Vanja Hamzic (SOAS London), Elisabeth Holzleithner (Vienna), Rosario Espinosa Calabuig (Valencia), and Nadjma Yassari (MPI Hamburg) have agreed to be the convenors.
If you are interested in joining us in May, please send your application by April 2, 2021 at gender@mpipriv.de. You can find the full Call for Applications here. For more information about the project, please visit https://www.mpipriv.de/gender.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us at gender@mpipriv.de if you have any further questions.
We look forward to seeing you at the workshop!
