The Summer School's program is of direct relevance to the Danish society and the legal professions. It is focused on incorporating sustainable development goals into business and legal practice. To ensure its full compatibility with the demands of legal practice, the program has been developed in connection with institutional partners representing legal professions, including the Danish Advokatsamfundet and the Warsaw Bar Association.
With the salary and travel/accommodation costs of the instructors covered by the 4EU+ Alliance, the Summer School in 2022 will be offered pro bono (without registration fees). This will allow for a broad dissemination of knowledge on socially responsible international business law among legal practitioners.
In the 2022 edition there are 3 travel and accommodation fellowships planned for eligible Ukrainian lawyers (PhD students and/or legal practitioners). The knowledge and networking acquired at the Summer School will help them in efforts to rebuild Ukraine’s economic stability after the war in connection with EU partners.
