Training Opportunities on European Immigration and Asylum Law / Form
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
I have the honour, on behalf of the Odysseus Academic Network and our members coming from all the Member States of the European Union, to inform you about the 8th edition of our Summer School on Immigration and Asylum Policy of the European Union, which we have organised for the last seven years and which will again take place in Brussels University (U.L.B.) from 30 June to 11 July 2008.
I have also the pleasure to inform you of the 3rd edition of our one-year programme that we have launched in September 2006. The continued success since 2001 of our Summer School, which each year attracts more than 150 persons coming from the whole of the European Union and beyond, and the growing demand for education on this subject, have indeed encouraged us to propose a Certificate course aimed at the acquisition of an in-depth knowledge of European Law on Immigration and Asylum in order to train genuine specialists in this developing branch of Community law. The two first years gathered each an interesting group of about 20 participants from diverse backgrounds.
You will find in annex all the information about these two programmes as well as on our website http://www.ulb.ac.be/assoc/odysseus/
As our Summer School, the Certificate is entirely self-financed and consequently will only continue if we have around twenty subscribers, and so we would be very grateful if you could help us promote its existence. All you need to do therefore is just to forward the present message and its annexes to persons who might be interested in the programme or to send us their details or a file with addresses to odysseus@ulb.ac.be.
On behalf of the Odysseus Academic Network, I hope to have the pleasure to meet you at the Summer School or Certificate and to have the possibility to rely upon your kind support for the promotion of both programmes as largely as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Philippe DE BRUYCKER
Coordinator of the Odysseus Academic Network
Professor at the Institute for European Studies
of the Université Libre de Bruxelles
