Nuremberg Summer Academy for Young Professionals 2023 – Anglophone Edition
The International Nuremberg Principles Academy is pleased to announce that applications for the
seventh edition of its Nuremberg Summer Academy are now open. Young lawyers, prosecutors,
judges, and academics are invited to apply to the 2023 edition, which will be held online, from 31 July to 11 August 2023.

Each year, the Nuremberg Summer Academy, a two-week intensive summer course, provides young
professionals with an invaluable opportunity and stimulating learning experience to acquire or deepen
their knowledge of substantive and procedural aspects of international criminal law. Guided by leading
international experts and practitioners, the participants will acquire practical knowledge on the
investigation, prosecution, and adjudication of core international crimes. ´
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the programme will be held online. The two-week intensive summer
course will be divided into two parts: (1) live lectures, and (2) guided self-study time via Moodle,
including daily quizzes and assignments. The live sessions will comprise eleven lectures, as well as
group assignments, followed by interactive discussions.

The program will be organised around one main case study. Lectures and self-study time will provide
both an academic and practical perspective of international criminal law, while group assignments and
interactive discussions strengthened the learned skills in practical assignments.
