Hello,

We are contacting you on behalf of the Odysseus Academic Network for
legal studies on immigration and asylum in Europe.

After having successfully launched this programme in 2001 in Brussels,
we will this year organise the fourth edition of the Summer School on
"European Union Immigration and Asylum Law and Policy" which will take
place at Universite Libre de Bruxelles from 1st to 14th July 2004. The
closing date for applications has been set for 15th May 2004. You'll
find all information on our website address: 
http://www.ulb.ac.be/assoc/odysseus/Summer04UK.html

I would be very much obliged if you could disseminate the information
about our Summer School to any interested persons or institutions.

An application form is available on the Odysseus Network Web site at 
http://www.ulb.ac.be/assoc/odysseus/SUMMERFORM2004.doc 

I am at your full disposal should you have any queries or should you
need any further information odysseus@ulb.ac.be

ABSTRACT: The aim of the Summer School is to provide its participants
with an extensive understanding of the immigration and asylum policy of
the European Union (EU) from a legal point of view.

The programme is organised by the "Academic Network for Legal Studies on
Immigration and Asylum in  Europe", 
founded with the support of the Odysseus Programme of  the European
Commission and coordinated by the Universite Libre de Bruxelles.

The course provides both the opportunity to live in a unique European
environment, as Brussels hosts numerous European and international
organisations and their research facilities, and to take part in an
intellectually stimulating experience in groups of several tens of 
participants specialised in the area of asylum and immigration 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.

Each class is given both in French and in English.

Participation in the Summer School is rewarded with a certificate of
attendance.

The classes which are of legal character offer both theoretical and 
practical elements, and tackle 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
officials as lecturers at the summer school.

Each participant will receive extensive relevant up-to-date
documentation.

Sorry if you receive this message more than once.

I thank you for your collaboration

Yours sincerely

On behalf of the Odysseus Team
