Some Details on the European Law & Governance School in Athens
The European Law and Governance School is an international university school founded upon the belief that the European Union plays a crucial role in ensuring global stability, promoting democracy, and the overall progress of mankind, and that the core values of the European Union must be upheld while it strives for better integration.
The ELGS also believes that the key source of hope and the only path to successful integration is through the proper education and training of the youth of Europe. Inspired by the values that lie at the heart of the European Union, the ELGS has strives to create a new form of education that is Pan-European in character. This education must start at the undergraduate level in order to create and prepare the next generation of legal and governance scholars to work within the fast-evolving European and International institutional structures.
The idea was initially conceived by Professor Giuliano Amato, Former Prime Minister of Italy, member of the Board of Directors of the EPLO and currently Honorary President of the Board of Trustees of the ELGS. In 2008 the “Group of Rome” was constituted around him and comprised of the most esteemed professors and practitioners. The inaugural launching of the School took place with the first symbolic meeting of the Board of Trustees at the premises of the European Parliament in the spring of 2013. The further development of the School followed while 2016 marked the initiation of the School’s programs. The programs were announced at the Quirinale Palace of Italy in the presence of H.E. President of the Republic of Italy Mr. Sergio Mattarella on May 18, 2016.
