Europaeum Summer School 2013 - "Rights and Citizenship in Europe: are we really equal?"

Venues: Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
Period: September 2-7, 2013
Application deadline: August 15, 2013

Human rights are taken for granted in Europe, and among Europe’s citizens. This was not always so. There were long battles to achieve such rights, and then to see Europe’s Human Rights Act established, enacted and enforced. Now, the current crisis has helped to refocus our interest in civic, political and economic rights by challenging universalism and revealing gaps and inequalities. The 2013 Europaeum Summer School will bring together experts from law and justice, think tanks, NGOs and universities, to discuss key questions over five days of talks, panels, working groups, debates role-playing and discussions.

These will include the following:

The Summer School is open to all Europaeum graduates, i.e. graduates of the following universities: Universitat Pompeu Fabra, University of Oxford, Universiteit Leiden, Università di Bologna, Universität Bonn, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Univerzita Karlova, Prague, Helsingin Yliopisto, Uniwersytet Jagiellonski.

To apply, please contact the Office with a letter of intent, demonstrating your interest in the event, a short CV (max. 2 pages), and a letter of support from your supervising professor.
All local costs will be covered through the Europaeum, but graduates are expected to cover their own travel costs.
