The Summer School offers an interactive, non-hierarchical, and focused mentorship and skill-building experience for students and faculty. It engages critically with the diverse considerations of political-economy-law while fostering democratic dialogue with local cultures.
The program spans three days:
- Day 1: Roundtable and writing workshop sessions (workshops modelled on IGLP format);
- Day 2: Case study focused on interactive, problem-based group learning, a focused master class, and a cultural excursion exploring local custom and history; and

The Summer Academy is a collaboration between the INET YSI FLE Working Group, the Law and Political Economy Collective (LPE-C), the Initiative for Global Law and Political Economy at the University of Manchester (iGLPE), the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE), and the City of Roccella, Italy.
