ELSA Antwerp is thrilled to host the 8th edition of its Summer ELSA Law School, taking place from June 29 to July 6, 2025. This year, our programme will focus on Intellectual Property and Competition Law, two dynamic and highly relevant legal fields.
This year's academic programme is designed to give participants an introduction to Intellectual Property and Competition Law. Through a mix of lectures, interactive workshops, and institutional visits, participants will gain valuable insights and practical knowledge directly from professionals in the field.
The event will be held in Antwerp and Brussels, with an exciting visit to the picturesque city of Bruges, offering participants a well-rounded academic and cultural experience.
