The Academy of European Law (ERA) provides an opportunity to receive a 25% discount exclusively for the UNBA NextGen as EYBA members for their summer course program.

Special scholarship conditions for young attorneys were introduced as a result of the partnership between the UNBA NextGen and the Academy of European Law.

The ERA summer course program will allow you to expand your knowledge and skills in 15 areas of European law, as well as gain experience from leading European lawyers and experts.

Applicants should not register for an event until they have received a decision on their scholarship application.

Application deadline:

  • 2 months before the event (for offline events);
  • 1 month before the event (for online events).

Required documents:

  • scholarship application form;
  • resume;
