A total of 35 students, doctoral candidates and professionals from all over the world took part in the Augsburg Summer Program and we were delighted to welcome them to the University of Augsburg. Once again this year, there was great cultural diversity among the participants. The six-week program was attended by people from Brazil, India, Mexico and various European countries, among others. We were particularly pleased to welcome participants from our partner universities in the USA, including some students from the George Washington University, the University of Pittsburgh, Chicago-Kent College of Law, the University of North Carolina and Pepperdine University. We were also able to welcome several participants from our Erasmus partner universities, the WeltWeit exchange program and students from the LL.M. program in International Business Law at the Faculty of Law, which further expanded our international audience. Last but not least, numerous German students were once again represented in various events as part of the law major, the law and economics program and the Foreign Language Legal Education (FRA).
