Summer School on Council of Europe

The School of Law and Social Justice of the University of Liverpool will be organising a dedicated summer school on the Law of the Council of Europe. It will take place between 2 and 14 July and is geared towards the postgraduate level, for students, scholars and practitioners. The lecturers include not only academics, but also current and former judges of the European Court of Human Rights and current and former parliamentarians from PACE as well as officials from the Council of Europe. This is the abstract of the contents:

'Europe is at the crossroads. Its future, its stability, and prosperity depend on how effectively it will respond to the crucial – old and new – challenges that it is facing. This summer school will bring together key decision-makers from the Council of Europe and leading scholars to discuss the ways in which the Council of Europe system can stand up to these challenges. These include rising illiberal democracies, the Russian aggression against Ukraine, and the consequent expulsion of the Russian Federation from the Council of Europe, but also climate change, public health emergencies, such as the one caused by COVID-19, and economic crises. The outcomes of the Summits of Heads of State and Government of the Council of Europe in Reykjavik, Iceland will also be discussed.'

The deadline for applications is 14 April 2023. You can apply here.
