The ELGS dynamic Summer Schools Conclude Successfully

  • Date 27 July, 2025

The European Law and Governance School (ELGS) of the European Public Law Organization (EPLO) successfully concluded two flagship summer programs between July 21–25, 2025, held at its academic facilities in Athens and Sounion, Greece. These programs convened a diverse cohort of students, early-career professionals, and researchers from across disciplines, offering them an intensive and interdisciplinary academic experience at the intersection of law, governance, and international affairs.

Migration Pathways: Rethinking Socio-Economic Mobility in Contemporary Migration Governance

Held at the EPLO premises in both Sounion and Athens, the MIGSS Summer School brought together students and young professionals for a rigorous week of discussions and field experience focused on migration policy and governance.

The MIGSS opened with an in-depth lecture by Dr. Angelo Tramountanis, setting the tone for a week-long engagement with some of the most pressing questions in contemporary migration governance. Contributions from experts such as Dr. Dimitris Georgiadis, Ms. Eda Gemi, Prof. Kristin Fabbe, Ms. Adla Shashati, Prof. Vasilis Kerasiotis, Ms. Erika Kalantzi, Dr. Maria Papathanasiou, Ms. Nadina Christopoulou, and Dr. Theodoros Fouskas, elevated the discourse, while the diversity of the student cohort led to vibrant exchanges throughout the week.

A particular highlight of the program was its emphasis on experiential learning. Participants had the rare opportunity to visit the Hellenic Ministry of Migration and Asylum and the headquarters of Solidarity Now, one of Greece’s most active NGOs in the migration field. These visits provided valuable insight into institutional practice and civil society engagement, grounding academic theory in the realities of policy-making and humanitarian response. The final sessions of the program delved into emerging trends in transnational mobility and the complexities of protection in times of crisis—offering both analytical tools and normative reflection.

Global Administrative Law in Practice: The EU’s Response to Energy, Environmental and Military Crises

Simultaneously, the GAL Summer School explored how the European Union addresses contemporary global crises through the lens of administrative law and its evolving role as a regulatory and normative actor under crisis conditions.

The program opened at the EPLO’s Plaka premises with dynamic lectures examining the EU’s international posture, its internal growth agenda, and its capacity to navigate environmental emergencies. Through the contributions of scholars such as Prof. Eugenia Kopsidi, Prof. Nikolas Voulgaris, Donato Vese, and Mr. Angelo Tramountanis, participants gained an interdisciplinary understanding of how legal frameworks adapt to political and ecological disruption.

On its third day, the program offered two landmark visits that underscored the institutional depth of the EU administrative landscape: one to the Hellenic Parliament and another to the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Waste and Water (RAAEY). These field trips provided a unique vantage point on decision-making, regulation, and legislative processes in practice—essential components of the EU’s multi-level governance architecture. In the concluding sessions held at the EPLO’s Sounion premises, participants examined the EU’s peace-promoting mechanisms and the challenges of implementing the European Green Deal, with lectures by Prof. Panagiotis Grigoriou and Prof. Edoardo Chiti providing critical perspectives.

These two summer schools reflect the ELGS’s mission to foster interdisciplinary, comparative, and practice-oriented legal education. By combining academic depth with policy relevance and real-world exposure, the ELGS continues to serve as a leading platform for global dialogue on law, governance, and democratic transformation.
