About Odysseus Summer School on EU Immigration and Asylum Law and Policy

This initiative is conceived as a response to the current asylum situation in Europe, and aims to provide a number of refugee students with an opportunity to gain knowledge in European immigration and asylum law. It intends to help refugees integrate in Europe, notably by allowing them to engage with European academics and continue their studies, which may have been interrupted due to forced departure from their home country.
