Evolving European Whistleblower Rights: 2 years of the EU Directive

Join Whistleblowing International Network (WIN) and the University of Göttingen for an insightful webinar as we reflect on “Evolving European Whistleblower Rights: 2 years of the EU Directive on Whistleblowing.” To mark the 2-year anniversary of the official deadline for all 27 EU Member States to transpose the directive, we bring together leading voices on whistleblower protection to provide a progress update, evaluate the effectiveness of the wave of new protections, explore legal perspectives on evolving whistleblowing rights, discuss real-life cases, and uncover the potential for further collaboration and advocacy.
