Events
The course will be based on a collaborative approach to learning, involving an high level of interaction during lessons.
For this reason, lectures with foreign academics will be scheduled, in order to offer partecipants the professionally oriented tools to deal with legal issues from a practical point of view; in a more general point of view, such events will strengthen the international profile of Bicocca University.
Moreover, one conference for each semester and a conclusive roundtable at the end of the Module will be organized together with Bar associations and other stakeholders; the roundtables are aimed at stimulating a wide debate concerning animal law bringing together academicians, legal experts, journalists, policy makers and civil society.
