Outline programme 2019
The two weeks of the summer school will be structured around four main modules (introductory notions, including dispute settlement; maritime safety, maritime security and marine environmental protection; individuals at sea; delimitation) during which a mixture of traditional ex cathedra lectures, to be delivered by academics and practitioners, and less conventional learning opportunities will take place. Additional activities will include a half-day roundtable on seaports and a one-day study visit to the Italian Navy’s Hydrographic Institute. Group works will also be organized, with a view to further deepening the knowledge of the topics covered during the modules and to stimulate interaction among participants.
Typically, teaching will occupy four academic hours in the morning and two academic hours in the afternoon. On the last day of the summer school, Friday 6 September, there will be no afternoon session. In total, 56 academic hours of didactics will be ensured.
The detailed schedule of the 2019 edition of the summer school will be uploaded soon. The above description is subject to adjustments until confirmed as final.
Those who have successfully participated to the various activities will be issued a certificate of attendance.
Some extracurricular events will be included too. Watch this space or drop an email to the EULoS team to know more!

Travel
Accommodation
Participants are required to make their individual arrangements for travel.
Genoa can be easily reached by car, train (both the Piazza Principe and Brignole stations serve the city center) and air (the nearest airport being Cristoforo Colombo). Taxis and a shuttle bus operate from the airport to the city center, which is just a few kilometers away.
In principle, participants have to make their own accommodation arrangements. The summer school team is, however, obviously available to provide advice and can be contacted at summerschool@eu-los.eu.
The area surrounding the summer school venue offers a wide range of accommodation options, including hostels, rooms for rent and hotels.
The following solutions, among the many existing alternatives, are highlighted due to the fact that they are reasonably priced and conveniently located at a walking distance from the area where teaching will take place. Please contact them directly to enquire about availability and cost:
- OStellin Genova Hostel
- Best Western Hotel Metropoli
