DEBATES & OTHER EVENTS
In addition to the opening lecture and cocktails, a series of optional activities will be organised during the summer school:
- Discussions on the EU return policy and the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, with speakers including lawyers involved in cases before the European Court of Human Rights or the Court of Justice of the EU, MEPs, judges, senior European officials, Justice and Home Affairs Advisers from Member States, as well as representatives of international organisations and NGOs.
- A “Who is who?” session for socialisation and networking between the participants of the summer school.
- Sessions with presentations of PhD projects
NETWORKING
- A networking cocktail will be organised for alumni of the Odysseus Summer School who attended the program between 2001 and 2024, on the occasion of the Summer School’s 25th anniversary. Additionally, professionals from European institutions, international organizations (UNHCR, IOM, etc.), NGOs (ECRE, etc.), think tanks (EPC, etc.), and consultancy firms will be invited to help Summer School participants establish connections that could assist them in securing an internship or a job.
As other events will be added to the program over time, you are kindly invited to consult our website for the latest information. Persons registered to the summer school will be kept informed via email.
VISITS TO EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONS
Staying in the capital of Europe is a unique opportunity to discover the EU institutions and to meet high-level officials who come to lecture at the summer school. A visit to the European Parliament will be organised. Participants can also enjoy a moment in the heart of the European quarter, Place du Luxembourg, where officials and trainees from EU institutions go for an after-work drink.
