Graduation of the class of 2020

Promotion Jürgen Habermas hosted by Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

 

In 2021, more than 30 students graduated from the partner universities of the European Law School network. To honour their achievement, the graduation ceremony took place on 16 July at the Centre Francais in Berlin.

In his opening speech, Professor StefanGraduierungsfeier Jahrgang 2020 Grundmann, President of the European Law School Network, emphasised the importance of personal exchange at the universities and social discourse in general. The concept of discourse is also behind the name of this cohort: Jürgen Habermas. For further reflections on this concept, the opening speech was followed by a lively panel discussion on "Universities and Discourse in the Pandemic".

Chaired by Professor Matthias Ruffert from Humboldt University, the panel included Professor Thierry Bonneau from Paris, Professor Elina Moustaira from Athens and graduate students Philipp Uebis and Benedikt Voss (London). The discussion pointed out the challenges that online formats bring for teachers and students, but also the possible advantages of the newly gained flexibility.

Afterwards, Professor Matthias Ruffert gave a laudation and Miriam Schuler gave an impassioned student speech. The graduates then received their certificates before moving to the outdoor terrace for a festive reception with their guests and the professors.

Graduation of the class of 2016

Promotion Caterina da Siena hosted by La Sapienza University in Rome

 

Graduierung Jahrgang 2016

The graduation ceremony of the class of 2016 was hosted for the first time by La Sapienza University (Rome). The graduates were first greeted by the Vice-President of La Sapienza University, the Dean of the Faculty and the respective higher institutes of the University, as well as by Prof. Laura Moscati, representing the Roman partner university. Prof. Guido Alpa gave the keynote speech on "Definitions and Conceptions of contracts" and reflected on the definition and conception of the contract in history and in the different European legal systems.

Finally, Prof. Stefan Grundmann, in his function as President of the European Law School Network, resolved the suspense as to who would be the patron saint of this year's doctorate: It is Caterina da Siena - Roman, holy patron saint of Italy and since 1999 also holy patron saint of Europe. She stands for unity and diversity in Europe and for the fact that Europe must stand together in today's times. After a short excursion into the perspective of the graduates, the certificates were handed over to the newly graduated European lawyers and finally they were invited to a small reception.

Graduation of the class of 2015

Promotion George Frideric Handel hosted by King's College London

          

_U7A1943.jpgThe class of 2015 was formally graduated on 19 January 2016 at King's College London. Traditionally, the graduating class, the "promotion" is named after a well-known historical figure.

For the sixth graduating class, Prof. Dr. Dr. Stefan Grundmann chose the German-British composer George Frideric Handel. Almost like the graduates, Handel was a European traveller in the truest sense of the word - after living, studying and working in Germany and Italy, he spent his twilight years in London.

The ceremony was opened by Professor John Phillips (King's College London), who introduced Prof. Sir Francis Jacobs as keynote speaker. Afterwards, Filippo Caliento, Edoardo Celeste, and Lauren Lederle, representing the graduates, reviewed their experiences of the past six years. Afterwards, King's College hosted a reception in the venerable Somerset House (home of the Law Faculty).
