Iceland’s EU Accession Referendum – 9 March 2026
Iceland will hold a referendum on Aug. 29 to decide whether to relaunch its stalled talks to join the EU, its government said Friday. A resolution is expected to be presented to Parliament next week, according to Minister for Foreign Affairs Kristrún Frostadóttir.
The Arctic country applied for EU membership in 2009 amid a financial crisis but froze talks in 2013 after a dispute over fishing policy and formally withdrew its application in 2015. Currently, Iceland is a member of the European Economic Area and part of the Schengen free travel area.

From the standpoint of public authorities, the seminar on the European Union’s security strategy was a success.
The students listened with keen interest to the remarks of Professor Virgilio D’Antonio, Rector of the University of Salerno; Giancarlo Conticchio, Police Commissioner of the Province of Salerno; and Alfonso Mignone, an expert in maritime law, on security on land and at sea.
“We need more Europe” was the response given when a student enquired about the scope of the Union’s security-related regulatory engagement.
Finally, the certificate given to the students and Young Observers of the EUVALWEB Legal Observatory was a moment of joy and camaraderie.
Keep following us!

Following the training exercises conducted as part of the Department of Legal Sciences’ (UNISA) International Organisation course, and with the assistance of Prof. Teresa Russo, Founder and Director of the the EUVALWEB Legal Observatory, the students will be asked to describe the relationship between a few international organisations and the European Union in their scientific research.

Investigating and Proving Contemporary Forms of Crime: Scientific Approaches, XV Archibald Reiss Days – 30-31 October 2025
On Thursday, October 30, Professor Teresa Russo, Director of the EUVALWEB Legal Observatory, was one of the keynote speakers at the plenary session of the XV Archibald Reiss Days International Scientific Conference on “Investigating and Proving Contemporary Forms of Crime: Scientific Approaches,” organised by the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies of Belgrade with the support of the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Science, Technological Development, and Innovation of the Republic of Serbia in cooperation with a number of universities from Europe.
Professor Russo, also a member of the Scientific Committee of the Conference, discussed in her presentation the challenges of fighting corruption through a systemic/strategic approach in European Union law. In particular, she highlighted how different national traditions and legislation impact the adoption of harmonised legislation, which, however, contains clear gaps, especially in terms of preventive measures.
EUVALWEB is honoured by this opportunity, stressing with satisfaction the remarkable results that have ensued from the ongoing cooperation with the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies of Belgrade.
