Modena – Automotive Law
ELSA MORE is organizing the fourth edition of its Summer ELSA Law School, to be held July 9-16, 2023 in Modena.
This SELS will give you the opportunity to study Automotive law at the "Motor Valley", industrial and cultural district known worldwide for the birth of some of the world's most important automobile and motorcycle industries, such as Ferrari and Maserati. The automotive companies in this territory represent worldwide excellence in research, development and production of automotive technology for both the artisan and industrial sectors. The region also contains museums, private collections and prestigious international circuits with a strong cultural impact and considerable tourist interest.
A vast approach to Automotive law will take place, as extremely pressing matters are discussed: from consumer protection, trademark and patent protection to competition, after market and road safety, participants will get a chance to deepen their legal knowledge through interesting lectures and visits.
The week aims to give you an introduction to life in Italy. The social program will be fun-filled and includes pub crawling, Italian-style karaoke, trips to local bars and clubs while dancing along to international hits and beer pong night in order to make your week in Modena unforgettable. To top it all, let's not forget dinners to taste the amazing Italian cuisine and see how it's done.
