This two-week Summer School focuses on anti-discrimination legal issues on the ground of disability. It will focus on the potential of the EU Framework Directive on Employment Discrimination in the context of disability.

The Summer School is hosted by the National University of Ireland, Galway and conducted in partnership with Maastricht University and is part funded by the European Commission and the National University of Ireland, Galway. 

The programme will raise general legal awareness about the practical potential of the Directive in the disability context and should appeal to a wide range of persons and bodies including practising lawyers, judges, law students and disability NGOs as well as those more generally interested in public interest litigation.
