2018: MIGRATORY FLOWS IN THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN: THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE

The Athens Public International Law Center – Athens PIL is pleased to announce the second edition of our Summer School dedicated to ‘Migratory flows in the Eastern Mediterranean: The present and the future’ to be held at the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens on 18-22 June 2018.

The Athens PIL Summer School offers an intensive interdisciplinary 5-day course (33 teaching hours), which includes seminars, targeted tutorials and simulation exercises as well as a written examination at the end. The course aims to serve as a strong grounding in the legal treatment of refugees and migrants and the management of migratory flows under international and EU law. We will address the causes of the current wave of migratory flows in the area; review the current reception arrangements, including on-site visits to hotspots and first-reception camps around Athens; critically discuss the existing integration schemes; and debate the future of EU policies on the matter. 

The lectures will be delivered in English, by leading academic experts and practitioners in refugee and migration law. The course targets mature postgraduate students and early-stage researchers but also practicing lawyers, policy-makers, NGO workers, international agency staff and other professionals working with refugees and migrants.

A certificate of attendance will be given to all participants. Those who so wish may also sit an examination for the Athens PIL Summer Course Diploma.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the AthensPIL Summer School 2018!
