Deadline: 22 August 2024
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) invites applications for the “Study Visit to Strasbourg” to support young lawyers with specialized knowledge in property rights issues, including international standards on the protection of human rights with a focus on vulnerable communities’ property rights.
The emerging generation of legal professionals, including civil servants, judges, prosecutors, attorneys, and notaries, will play a vital role in upholding property rights in accordance with international standards and best practices. Therefore, to further the knowledge and practical skills of young lawyers, the OSCE calls for five master- level law students, including from nonmajority communities and three civil law professors to apply for a three-day visit to European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Strasbourg.
During this visit, the students will gain valuable insights and knowledge on property rightsrelated topics, which would help them during the process of writing thesis or articles. Meanwhile, the professors will gain first-hand information in the court’s reasoning on property cases which they can use during their lectures.
The study visit is planned to take place in September/October 2024. The OSCE Mission in Kosovo will cover all the expenses for the participants (transport, insurance and full board accommodation).

- Master- level law students should submit a CV, a letter of interest (max 500 words in English, Times New Roman 12), a proof of student status from their law faculty confirming that they are master- level civil law student enrolled in the property rights field.
- Civil law professors should submit CV, a letter of interest (max 500 words in English, Times New Roman 12), a proof confirming that they are teaching at the civil law department, certificates of specialisation in property rights, and the list of published articles.
