The 2025 Summer Program in European Union Law by the Kyiv Institute of European Integration (The Hague, Netherlands) will launch on May 19.

The program is designed for practicing lawyers, Ukrainian government policymakers, and law students, with the aim to:

• increase knowledge levels in key areas of European law;

• educate current and future leaders of Ukraine about EU law’s ever-expanding scope and requirements;

• help bring Ukraine in line with the EU’s acquis communautaire as swiftly and effectively as possible.

It is a 3-month, evening program that offers 1–2 lectures per week and covers the core areas of EU law, as well as certain specialized subjects of particular relevance to the Ukrainian economy. Upon completion, students will receive a Certificate in EU Law.

COURSE SCHEDULE AND LECTURER LIST TO BE ANNOUNCED

The program is designed to lower barriers to participation from staff and students alike, even under the daunting circumstances under which many Ukrainians live today. To allow students from all corners and from different Ukrainian universities to attend classes without need for travel from home or through unsafe areas, it is entirely online.

The 2025 Summer Program is an EU-wide initiative. In terms of professorial staff, it is not tied to any particular Member State or any European university. It is a joint effort of top EU law scholars and practicing lawyers throughout the EU and beyond, who have combined forces and decided to devote, on a voluntary and pro bono basis, their time towards a common goal: to help Ukraine get ready for EU membership as soon reasonably possible.

Participation in the Program is free of charge; however, a contribution is required to cover administrative costs: €50 for students and €100 for all other categories of participants.
