THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL BRUSSELS SEMINAR ON THE LAW AND INSTITUTIONS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
By admin | marzo 23, 2008
Brussels, Belgium, July 1-22, 2008
The Jean Monnet Chair of the Centre for European Law of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel is pleased to announce the 2008 Brussels Seminar on the Law and Institutions of the European Union.
This three week-Seminar, which takes place in Brussels, is directed by Prof. Gabriel M. Wilner, Executive Director of the Dean Rusk Center, The University of Georgia School of Law (USA), in cooperation with the Centre for European Law of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Institut d’Etudes Européennes of the Université Libre de Bruxelles.
The principal aim of the Brussels Seminar is to provide a group of interested law students with intensive exposure to the institutions and law of the European Union (EU). The core elements of the Brussels Seminar are a series of lectures and discussions, all given in English. A total of approximately eighty hours of lectures, seminars, and workshops are scheduled. Several briefings and other meetings will be organised (Court of Justice in Luxembourg, European Parliament, Palace of Justice of Brussels, etc.).
During the Seminar, various aspects will be addressed. The completion of an integrated internal market, the remarkable expansion of the scope of the EU as evidenced by the Treaty on European Union which envisages an economic and monetary union and a political union, the accession of the new members of the EU, and the further expansion of the Union will be the subjects of particular attention in Seminar discussions. EU integration through the Maastricht, Amsterdam, and Nice Treaties will be analysed and discussed. Also the Treaty of Lisbon, which has not yet entered into force, will be analysed.
A small number of qualified participants will be selected from among non-U.S. law students who have completed most of the requirements for their law degree. Recent law graduates, persons engaged in graduate law studies, and law practitioners with less than five years practice may also be admitted.
Belgian students who arrange their own lodging will pay €750 to attend the Seminar. Other non-US students pay €1600 (accommodation included).
Letters of application should be sent by June 2, 2008.
