Description

ELSA UMinho is pleased to announce its 9th Edition of Summer ELSA Law School in Braga, taking place from the 23rd to the 30th of July  2023. This SELS will be held at the University of Minho's School of Law and the topic will be Law and Sustainability.

The city of Braga is the home of ELSA UMinho, being known as "The City of Youth", which despite being the oldest city in Portugal, was distinguished as "The City of Youth" in Europe, in 2012, and "The City of Sport", in 2018.

The academic programme will focus on the topic of Law and Sustainability, through various Lectures, highlighting subtopics such as sustainable development goals and law, green taxation, green cybersecurity, and much more! The participants will also be able to visit a Portuguese law firm and watch the working environment and participate in a Moot Court Competition, for which they will prepare during the week. 

This Law School will provide a social and cultural programme that will make this week memorable and exciting, with the visit to several cities and iconic and historic monuments in Portugal, as well as networking opportunities and cultural exchange between participants, through, for example, a Peddy-Paper around the city, a Laser Tag night, a Sports Tournament, a Themed Party, a Gala Ball, and other activities that will make Braga the best destination for this summer!
