The aim of the Summer School is to provide its participants with an extensive understanding of the immigration and asylum policy of the European Union (EU) from a legal point of view. The programme is organised by the "Academic Network for Legal Studies on Immigration and Asylum in Europe", which is financed by the Odysseus Programme of the European Commission and co-ordinated by the Université Libre de Bruxelles. The course provides both the opportunity to live in a unique European environment, as Brussels hosts numerous European and international organisations and their research facilities, and to take part in an intellectually stimulating experience in groups of several tens of participants specialised in the area of asylum and immigration from all over Europe. The classes are conducted by academics from the universities co-operating in the Network which is represented in each of the fifteen member states of the European Union, in collaboration with high ranking officials from international organisations, particularly the European Commission. Each class is given both in French and in English. Participation in the Summer School is rewarded with a certificate of attendance.

The classes which are of legal character offer both theoretical and practical elements, and tackle the most recent developments in the field. The latest preparatory work by the European Commission and legislative projects from the Council and Parliament are integrated into the teaching, thanks in particular to the participation of European officials as lecturers at the summer school. Each participant will receive extensive relevant up-to-date documentation.
