SUMMARY:The Future of the Anti-fraud Architecture
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Law of the University of Luxembourg invites you to a conference on emerging challenges in the EU anti-fraud enforcement\n\nAbstract\n\nThis 2-day conference takes place at a pivotal moment, as the EU’s anti-fraud framework undergoes significant redefinition and recalibration. Two main forces drive this transformation: institutional change, including an evolving enforcement architecture, new competencies for OLAF, the growing role of the EPPO, and the arrival of new actors such as the Anti-Money Laundering Authority; and technological advancement, from the collection and analysis of electronic evidence to the application of AI in fraud investigations. The conference’s primary goal is to examine in depth this rapidly shifting landscape of fraud investigation, bringing together legal professionals, policymakers, and academics, and featuring contributions from both leading practitioners and prominent researchers in the field.\n\nLanguage\n\nEnglish.\n\nThis is a free conference. Registration is mandatory.\n\nProgramme\n\nThursday, 20 November 2025\n\n09.15 - 09.30\n\nWelcome address and introduction to the conference\n\nKatalin Ligeti, Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance, University of Luxembourg\n\nFrank Michlik, Head of Unit Legislation and Policy, OLAF\n\n09.30 - 09.45\n\nThe Future of the Anti-fraud Architecture: Introduction to the conference\n\nStanisław Tosza, Associate Professor in Compliance and Law Enforcement, University of Luxembourg\n\n09.45 - 10.15\n\nKeynote address: The EPPO perspective on the changing anti-fraud architecture: looking beyond and navigating the pitfalls\n\nMiranda de Meijer, European Prosecutor, EPPO, Professor (European) Public Prosecution, University of Amsterdam\n\n10.15 - 11.00\n\nGathering electronic evidence from online services providers in administrative punitive proceedings – presentation of the comparative study and policy recommendations\n\nDiscussants:\n\nStanisław Tosza, Associate Professor in Compliance and Law Enforcement, University of Luxembourg\n\nSalomé Lannier, Postdoctoral researcher / MSCA Fellow, University of Luxembourg\n\n11.00 - 11.15\n\nCoffee break\n\n11.15 - 12.30\n\nPanel 1: Gathering electronic evidence from online services providers in administrative punitive proceedings – solutions in national legal system\n\nChair: Niovi Vavoula, Associate Professor and Chair in Cyber Policy, University of Luxembourg\n\nDiscussants:\n\nDominik Brodowski, Professor for Europeanization, Internationalization and Digital Transformation of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure, Saarland University, “Germany”\n\nJuhana Riekkinen, University Lecturer, University of Lapland, “Finland”\n\nGiulia Lasagni, Associate Professor, University of Bologna, “Italy”\n\nAart de Vries, Assistant Professor, Utrecht University, “The Netherlands”\n\n12.30 - 13.30\n\nLunch break\n\n13.30 - 15.00\n\nPanel 2: The anti-fraud landscape in transition\n\nChair: Gert Vermeulen, Professor of (International & European) Criminal Law, Ghent University\n\nDiscussants:\n\nMarta Laszuk, Deputy Head of the Legal Unit, OLAF, “OLAF: current legal challenges and future perspectives”\n\nLuca De Matteis, Head of the Legal Service, EPPO, “EPPO: current legal challenges and future perspectives”\n\nKarolina Kremens, Professor and the Director of Digital Justice Centre, University of Wrocław, “Between Reform and Resistance: The Challenges of the EPPO in Poland”\n\nKatalin Ligeti, Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance, University of Luxembourg, “Between national procedural law and Union oversight: the emerging jurisprudence of national courts on the EPPO procedural acts”\n\n15.00 - 15.15\n\nCoffee break\n\n15.15 - 16.45\n\nPanel 3: The anti-fraud landscape in transition (continued)\n\nChair: Katalin Ligeti, Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance, University of Luxembourg\n\nDiscussants:\n\nGeorgia Theodorakakou, Doctoral researcher, University of Luxembourg, “Has the EPPO tilted the scale of justice?
