November 29 - December 1, 2026 Conference: "Recent and Pending Cases at the CJEU on Direct Taxation"

At this conference, we examine and discuss cases on the interpretation of the fundamental freedoms in respect of direct taxation at the CJEU. In addition to analyzing pending cases and their importance to the EU Member States and third countries, we will also shed light on recent CJEU decisions and discuss their background and relevance for the future.

Distinguished experts from the countries, in which those direct tax cases originated, will introduce the cases and their relevant domestic and European legal contexts to the audience. Participants are then invited to comment briefly on how the judgments could influence the domestic law of their respective home countries, which may include implementation into national legal systems or even no legal adjustments at all. In order to allow all participants to prepare, we will provide materials on all cases to be discussed in due time before the start of the conference.

The conference will open on the evening of Sunday, November 29, 2026 with an evening reception at our Institute. The working sessions will be held all day on November 30 and December 1, 2026 in Ceremonial hall 1, LC Building on the WU campus. On the evening of November 30, 2026 the Mayor of Vienna invites all attendees to a Typical Viennese Heurigen Dinner.

In the afternoon of November 30, 2026, Prof. Yariv Brauner will deliver his honorary lecture on the topic: "Taxing Work in the 21st Century".The lecture will take place at the conference venue, following the last session of the first working day.
