The Odysseus Academic Network organises the 13th edition of our Summer School on 'Immigration and Asylum Law and Policy of the European Union', that will take place in the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Brussels (Belgium) from 1 to 12 July 2013.
The classes give a global vision of the immigration and asylum law in Europe. They are conducted by academics, among the best specialists in this field, from the member universities of the Odysseus Academic Network, which is represented in all Member States of the European Union, and by high-ranking officials from international organisations, particularly the European Commission. The Summer School provides the opportunity to live in a unique European environment and to tackle the most recent developments in this area of law and policy. It also encourages networking with around one hundred participants active in this field. Over the last 12 years, the Summer School has gathered almost 1,500 people from diverse nationalities and backgrounds (national and international civil servants, NGOs' representatives, lawyers, professors, researchers, PhD candidates, judges, social workers, advanced students, etc.).
In order to enable participants in full-time employment to attend, the classes are mainly held in the afternoon, between 14:00 and 18:30. Each class is given separately in French and in English. Interested candidates are strongly advised to submit their applications by using the registration form available on the website of the Network as soon as possible because of the limited number of places available. Additional information is available on the website.
