GAL Viterbo VI – Announcement of conclusion of the selection procedure
We are pleased to announce that the selection procedure for the Sixth Viterbo GAL Seminar has now concluded. Competition for the available places was extremely strong. We received 18 applications for a maximum of 10 places available due to financial and organizational reasons.
All abstracts were carefully evaluated by a selection panel composed by Daniel Bradlow (American University – Washington College of Law) Giulio Napolitano (University of Roma – Roma Tre) and Euan MacDonald (University of Sidney) on the basis of three criteria: the adequacy of the proposed subject to the topic of the Seminar, the satisfactoriness of the work-plan and methodology, and the ability in developing a provocative understanding of the Seminar’s proposed topic.
