The European Law and Governance School

[EduCativ]

In the present, evermore globalized era, there is, without any doubt, a need for homogenized curricula at a European level and a need for institutions that can offer students qualifications, knowledge, and skills that are recognized across national borders.
Aiming to be continuously at the forefront of research and Education, the European Public Law Organization (EPLO) has created a higher education institution under the name of "European Law and Governance School" (ELGS), which constitutes the materialization of this need.
The European Law and Governance School are founded upon the belief that the European Union plays a crucial role in ensuring global stability, promoting democracy, the overall progress of humanity, and that the European Union's core values must be upheld while it strives for better integration.
The ELGS also believes that the critical source of hope and the only path to successful integration is through the proper Education and training of Europe's youth.
Thus, the Vision of the ELGS is to create a generation of youth that will identify themselves as Europeans, serve Europe, and disseminate the idea, culture, and values of Europe throughout the world.
Inspired by the values that lie at the heart of the European Union, such as fundamental rights, the free movement of professionals, goods, and services, and the creation of a single market system, as well as by the challenges and opportunities created by these policies, the ELGS has identified the need to create a new form of Education that is Pan-European.
This Education must start at the undergraduate level 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.
To that effect, in 2008, the "Group of Rome" was constituted around him and comprised of the most esteemed professors and practitioners. The Group met regularly to discuss the various strategic and operational aspects of the project. As the time passed, the project matured enough for the Board of Directors of the EPLO to decide in 2009 to create an EPLO agency called the "European Law and Governance School," thus providing it with all the necessary tools and empowerment needed to achieve its objective.
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 2015 marked the initiation of the Schools' programs.
The European Law and Governance School (ELGS) is a modern international school with the aim and mission to offer Excellence in tertiary levels of Education in European Law and Governance.
The School aims to shape socially responsible leaders of the future with inquisitive minds and free spirits. It aims to shape the European Citizens of tomorrow who belong to Europe and promote European values.
The ELGS is committed to educating the next generation of Europe and the World's legal practitioners, public administrators, and world leaders by imparting them with the knowledge necessary to effectively work within the fast-evolving European and global institutional structures that transcend national frameworks and the skills to confront and address the new global opportunities and challenges.
The ELGS provides interdisciplinary undergraduate, postgraduate, and Executive Education courses, with fresh material and a unique design.
