SELS Vila Nova de Gaia on Climate Litigation and Renewable Energy Transition

ELSA Portucalense is organising the 1st edition of the Summer ELSA Law School Vila Nova de Gaia. This year's topic will be Climate Litigation and Renewable Energy Transition, which will take place on July 13 - July 20, 2025.

In regards to the Academic Programme, our main focus is to expand our participants' knowledge of Climate Letigation. Also, because quality is crucial, the Academic Programme will be carried out by the most skilled and recognised professionals who work in this field of law. At the end of the week, we prepared a Moot Court about Climate Litigation.

On the other hand, we want to make sure that visiting Vila Nova de Gaia will leave an unforgettable mark on our participants. So we have prepared cultural and social activities, such as the 7 Bridges Cruise, visiting the most historical points - Clérigos Tower, Lello Library, Aliados Avenue, Dom Luís I Bridge, and many more. Also, the participants will be hosted in a very central Hostel, making it easy to visit the cultural places and access public transport.

Because having fun is an important aspect of this adventure, the participants will discover one of our big University symbols - Tuna (musicians) - as well as unforgettable nights out and clubbing. At the end of the week, there’s a Gala Ball prepared so that participants can say goodbye to our SELS in the most fun way possible. That being said, prepare your best gala outfit.

We believe that mixing all of these aspects together is the right formula to create good lasting memories and fulfilling bonds. 

Are you ready for the adventure? We are very excited to welcome you to our SELS!
