STRENGTHENING EU LEGAL STUDIES IN SOUTH EAST EUROPE
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2019 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project aims to advance and promote the exchange of knowledge and views on the development of the legal systems in South Eastern Europe (SEE) in accordance with EU law. The proposed activities will reinforce the structures for the development and promotion of the SEE Law Journal (SEE LJ) as a statutory activity of the South East European Law School Network (SEELS). The SEE LJ deals with EU legal affairs and is an encouraging example of intraregional academic collaboration. It focuses on relevant questions of regional, European and international integration of the Western Balkan states, issues of legal reform and approximation with the acquis communitaire, best practices in legal reform as well as the approximation of the national legislations in SEE with EU law. The project provides several clearly measurable outputs. A multi-functional web platform will be set up to allow easy access to information about current EU law developments. It will also serve as tool for automatization of the production of the SEE LJ. The process will be supported by editorial board meetings. Adequate training will be provided for the participants in the process via webinars and manuals. In the life cycle of the project it is foreseen to publish four editions of the SEE LJ and to organise promotional events ‘EU Law Days’ in all 13 member faculties of SEELS. The envisaged measures will strengthen the capacities of the network as key competence centre for EU law studies in the region as well the faculties’ capacity for EU legal studies. It will increase the visibility of SEELS and fosters the SEE LJ to become the main vehicle for the promotion of EU law affairs in South East Europe. SEELS is an academic network of 13 law faculties from 6 Western Balkans states committed to the promotion of excellence in EU law education and research. The activities of the network are administered and coordinated by the Centre for SEELS which is the applicant for this project.
