The aftermath of WS and Others v. Frontex: is the battle for accountability lost?
This event intends to unpack and discuss the legal accountability challenges resulting from this case-law, reflecting on whether there is a way to address the accountability gaps created by the novelties posed by the emerging structure of EU integrated administration, within the current system of EU judicial remedies.

Marlies Gijs is doing pioneering work in the booming field of tear-fluid research. The analysis of tear fluid is a promising alternative to more invasive examination methods, which can be both painful and risky.

And as it turns out, they’re useful in biochemical analysis, including Alzheimer’s research.”

In his book Paniek en hoe het aan te pakken (Panic and how to tackle it) he offers some practical tips. One of the most important pieces of advice? Schruers: “Breathing into a paper bag does not work.”
