Course Description
After 18 editions and a few years of Covid-related disruptions, the Eclan Summer School is back with its in-person classes and a renewed programme.
Get ready to join us!
This year's Summer School will be centered on the wider and ever-increasing role of EU actors in criminal law, analysed from different angles in order to provide a well-rounded understanding of the complexities of this evolving field.
To this purpose, we have selected a number of most topical issues which will be addressed by several speakers per panel, thereby combining various complementary perspectives and allowing for more in-depth discussions.
Also the typical evening conference will be devoted to a new, pressing issue attracting unprecedented developments in EU criminal law: the role of EU actors in the fight against core international crimes.
You can submit your application via email at eclan.network@gmail.com, by using a clear subject (e.g. "Summer School 2023 - application") and by attaching a CV.
