First ever Norwegian Winter ELSA Law School!
The 05.-12. February, the very first Norwegian WELS was organized in Tromsø.
ELSA Law Schools is one of ELSA’s biggest projects. As the name suggests, this is a summer or winter school offered to ELSA members. The school consists of an academic program linked to a chosen legal theme, as well as a social and cultural programme. From 179 applications 30 law students from all over Europe was selected to participate in this Nordic adventure.
The legal winter school was held in Tromsø with the theme «Law of The Sea». The ocean has always been an important resource to Norway, with activities ranging from fishing and whaling to oil, gas and renewable energies. Tromsø has many institutions, firms and specialists in this area, which made it the perfect place to learn about the Law of the Sea.
During the week, the participants gained new knowledge in skipping, navigation, maritime resources, negotiations, the maritime environment in accordance with climate change, and what it is like to work with maritime law, among other things.
We want to give a huge thanks to our academic partners for sharing their knowledge on the topic “law of the sea” with our participants!
