Today Maynooth University has more than 12,000 students from over 90 countries. This summer Maynooth University welcomes you to share in our history, heritage and future!

What:
Explore the evolution of human rights protection within the EU, and discuss challenges faced by the EU in the current political climate including migration, humanitarian crises, neighbourhood policy.

This 3rd edition of the summer school will focus on groups that experience particular vulnerability due to structural inequality. It will discuss EU legislation and policy whose inherent rationale is to counteract and mitigate vulnerability through special safeguards and measures to enable such groups to enjoy all their human rights to the full.

The summer school is an extraordinary opportunity to meet some of Europe’s most influential academics and practicioners, and hear them debate the relationship between European integration and the EU's actions to promote international justice.
 

Who: Postgraduate students, final year undergraduates, legal professionals, and researchers would find the course most suitable.
