I am happy to let you know that the Academy of International Trade Law will be offered again in Macau this summer. I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly spread the news among your students. If any of your students are interested, please feel free to have them contact me so I can ask the organizer to reserve the seats for them. In addition, some scholarships have been made available for exceptional candidates from developing countries. The deadline for the scholarship application is May 11.
More information about the Academy can be found here. Below is some brief introduction of the course from the website:
The Academy of International Trade Law, based in Macau and organized by the Institute of European Studies of Macau since year 2000, aims at providing education and training at the highest international standard on the law of international trade, the WTO and selected issues of regional integration regimes such as the NAFTA, EU, Mercosur and ASEAN. The course takes place during two weeks in July and follows a model similar to the Academy of European Law, in Florence, and to the Academy of International Law , in The Hague . Its teachers are invited from the leading experts in the world. The Academy fills a gap in international legal education and, although especially devised for governmental staff, particularly in Asian countries, it also provides a unique opportunity of high-level training in the law of international trade to young scholars and lawyers at large.
