European Union Law and Policy on Immigration and Asylum
_________________________
Brussels
July 2001
I. INTRODUCTION
The aim of the European Summer School is to provide its participants
with an extensive understanding of the immigration and asylum policy
of the European Union (EU). The programme is organised by the
"Academic Network of Legal Studies on Immigration and Asylum in
Europe", which is financed by the Odysseus Programme of the European
Commission and co-ordinated by the Universit� Libre de Bruxelles. The
course provides both the opportunity to live in a unique European
environment, since Brussels hosts numerous European and international
organisations and their research facilities, and to take part in an
intellectually stimulating experience together with approximately 40
participants from all over Europe. The classes are conducted by
academics from the universities co-operating in the Network which is
represented in each of the fifteen member states of the European
Union, in collaboration with high ranking officials from international
organisations, particularly the European Commission. Class numbers
will be limited to ensure that each participant receives personal
attention from the instructors. Each class is given both in French and
in English. Participation in the programme is rewarded with a
certificate of attendance.

A meeting with Mr. Antonio Vitorino, the European Commissioner for
Justice and Internal Affairs, is also intended to feature on the
programme.
IV. TEACHING ORIENTATION
The classes offer both theoretical and practical elements, as well as
tackling the most recent developments in the field. The latest
preparatory work by the European Commission and legislative projects
from the Council and Parliament are integrated into the teaching,
thanks in particular to the participation of European high ranking
officials as lecturers at the summer school. Each participant will
receive a large pack of up-to-date literature on the subjects.

languages, in accordance with the choice originally indicated. Each

the same teacher.
VII. FACILITIES
The participants will have access to the various university facilities
(libraries, cafeterias, computer rooms, medical and sports facilities,
etc.). Those participants requiring accommodation during their stay in
Brussels should state so on their application form in order to receive
information on the possible options (private accommodation or halls of
