Situated in the center of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Udine is an elegant city surrounded by open plains, and characterized by Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Udine is located in the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia close to the borders of Austria to the North, Slovenia to the East and the Adriatic Sea on the South. The city is the historical capital of Friuli. Udine can be easily reached by train, bus or plane (only 40km from the Trieste Airport).

The vision of the EU & Legal Reform Summer School is to create a dynamic network of scholars and practitioners who will work to enact critical reforms as the EU expands. For the past 20 years we have worked towards this goal in two ways:

• We have brought together a diverse group of young legal scholars who we hope will eventually assist in legal reform and European integration processes in their respective countries and on the EU level.
• We have initiated a fruitful exchange of experiences and best practices during and after the Summer School that may lead to future transnational projects.

Here at the CCSDD, we believe that for true integration into the European Union to take place, European law needs to be fully incorporated into every aspect of domestic legislation. In order to harmonize the current South Eastern European legal systems with those of EU countries, as well as cultivate groundbreaking legal thinking, it is essential to develop, train, and disseminate innovative teaching methods to young academics. In so doing, we can create a new generation of receptive and open-minded lawyers who will play a critical role in the process of reform.
