The Our Rule of Law Academy (the Academy) is an intensive academic mentorship programme for Bachelor law/law-related students. Between January and March 2023, 45 Bachelor students from 25 Member States conducted research on and developed policy proposals for tackling selected issues of the European rule of law crisis under the supervision of 22 rule of law experts.
On 16 and 17 March 2023 all participants met for a two-day boot camp in Brussels to summarise their findings in a holistic policy proposal on countering rule of law issues in the EU.
