We will officially start the 2024/2025 Fellowship cohort by warmly welcoming the new Fellows in Berlin from 23 to 25 October 2024 for their first Fellows’ Exchange Meeting. Under the banner of “Interdisciplinary Perspective on Law towards Change”, various interactive sessions will take place. The Fellows can engage with each other, the Advisory Board and the Alumni Network. Further external speakers will offer the possibility to discuss interdisciplinary approaches in legal research and practice concerning the constitution and future of democracy and the rule of law in Europe. Due to ongoing crises in and around Europe, engagement based on fact-based, interdisciplinary cooperation is needed to strengthen rule of law structures and democratic processes in the EU, the European neighbourhood and beyond.
We are very pleased to meet the new Fellows and to embark on a Fellowship journey full of valuable insights, exchanges and collaborations in order to examine the status of rule of law and democracy in Europe and beyond.
