In accordance with the Regulation (EU) N.o 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (hereinafter – the GDPR) and applicable national legislation, Mykolas Romeris University informs you about the processing of your personal data related to the use of the online self-evaluation tool for judges or candidates to judges (hereinafter – the Self-evaluation tool).
What is the purpose of the Self-evaluation tool?
This Self-evaluation tool is a part of the “Portrait of a Judge” project (further – the Project). The aim of the Project is to create an innovative, scientifically based, transparent, unbiased and flexible multi-dimensional model of competencies required of a judge and innovative measurement methodology as established by the independent researchers in collaboration with the judiciary and civil society.
The purpose of the Self-evaluation tool is twofold. On one hand, the Self-evaluation tool is intended to help the judge to self-assess in which areas he/she should improve his/her knowledge and skills. On the other hand, the results of self-evaluation will be anonymized and treated at the aggregate level and as such will be used in the Project for discussion on the selection and evaluation criteria of judges and in the preparation of training plans for judges.
Who is responsible for the Project?
The Project is coordinated by Mykolas Romeris University (Lithuania) as a lead partner. Other Project partners are University of Oslo (Norway), Supreme Court of Lithuania, Supreme Court of Albania, Metropolitan University Prague (Czech Republic).
