From 5 to 10 September 2021, TU Dresden and Leipzig University are organising a summer school 'Human Rights
in Theory and Practice: The
European Convention on Human Rights in Times of Crises'. The summer school will take place both online and in person (in Dresden).
Themes such as emergency situations, populism, migration, and the role of economic, social and cultural rights in the context of crisis will be explored from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Speakers of the summer school include
the Strasbourg Court Judge Anja Seibert-Fohr and 17 other established scholars and practitioners working on the Convention system.
The Summer School is designed for
advanced students of law, political science, international relations and
similar fields. Prior knowledge about the European Human Rights System may be
beneficial but is not required. The language of the Summer School will be English.
