Section outline

  • There are several alternative options for taking this seminar:

    • The joint seminar session in Vienna is scheduled for May 24-26, 2023 (Wednesday-Friday). The seminar will include a visit to the UN Building in Vienna.
      Up to 5 students from Fribourg can take part in the seminar session in Vienna.

      Organisation of the trip and accommodation will be up to the participants and at their own cost.

    • As the joint session in Vienna will take place close to our exam session, subject to demand a substitute seminar session for Fribourg students shall be scheduled in the period April 21-25, 2023. Depending on the number of participants and organisational requirements the seminar will last 3-5 days within this time frame. The Fribourg session will be organised acoording to the «SECRET SEMINAR»-Formula: You will find out where the seminar takes place on the day of departure only. The actual dates of the seminar will be published by the first week of April.

      Minimum number of participants: 6.

      If for any reason (in particular sanitary regulations) the secret seminar session can not be organised, an alternative format for the oral presentation will be made available, so you will have the opportunity of earning your ECTS.

      The maximum cost for the secret seminar session (3-5 days, travel, accommodation in shared twin room, seminar room) will be 400 frs.

      The seminar is complementary to any other «secret seminars» in european criminal law or mutual legal assistance. Feel free to take as many as you like! Of course, the seminar is also complementary to the semester course in international criminal law.

      Application deadline for this «variant» of the seminar: March 21, 2023.

    Presenting at one of those sessions will be sufficient for taking the seminar. However, you are free to take part in the secret seminar session as a rehearsal and to join the Vienna session as well.

    Special Credits (2 ECTS) can be awarded for presentations at the seminar without written work.
