The aim of the programme is to constitute the continuation of last year’s summer school on European Constitutionalism in Times of Crisis, in order to complete the educational cycle and to provide a comprehensive examination of the broader topic under consideration. Through the multi-dimensional lectures by distinguished speakers, the summer school seeks to provide each participant with the appropriate stimuli and tools for an insightful and dynamic research of the issue under consideration as well as to sculpt his/her skills. In this context, participants will have the opportunity to expand their horizons and engage in a fruitful and pluralistic scientific dialogue, through which they will understand and deepen their understanding of the themes under examination, cultivating and exchanging innovative ideas.

Upon completion of the course, the participants are expected to enrich their educational background and acquire specialized knowledge in the topic under consideration, which will create the necessary foundations for the cultivation of innovative thinking. Furthermore, they are expected to have an adequate understanding of the issues underexamination, so that they will be able to formulate their own ideas in a well-founded and thorough manner, thus contributing to the evolutionary dynamics of the topic under examination.
Also, they will be able to relate the acquired knowledge to different fields of knowledge, promoting interdisciplinary. In addition, participants are expected to acquire specialised problem-solving skills, cultivate their legal thinking and enhance their research skills in order to better respond to the demands of their scientific field.
Furthermore, they will have the opportunity to strengthen the spirit of collaboration and teamwork through interactive lectures so that they can plan, manage and implement their research projects effectively, both individually and collectively. In addition, they are expected to learn to manage complex work problems, requiring new strategic approaches.
They will therefore be prepared to take responsibility for their own contribution to professional knowledge and practice.
