Today, an extended strategic meeting was held at the Academy of Justice under the chairmanship of the Rector ahead of the new academic year.

The meeting focused extensively on taking the Academy’s activities to a qualitatively new level, aligning the educational process with the modern needs of judicial practice, increasing the effectiveness of scientific research, supporting innovative ideas and projects, and strengthening the Academy’s role and influence in the international scientific community.

The strategic goal through 2030 is to transform the Academy of Justice from a traditional educational institution into a modern Justice Research & Innovation Hub.

In other words, the Academy should become a new-generation scientific and innovation centre that not only provides knowledge, but also:

— creates new knowledge and scientific solutions for judicial practice;

— forecasts future trends in the field of justice;

— tests innovative ideas and technologies and introduces them into practice;

— actively contributes to shaping the national and international scientific agenda.

During the meeting, specific tasks, priority areas and performance criteria were assigned to structural divisions and responsible staff members to translate the strategic goals into tangible results.

The new academic year is not simply a new academic period. It marks the beginning of a new stage in the development of the Academy of Justice towards 2030.
