Internationally renowned experts from academia and practice will give lectures about current issues in the field of European and International tax law as part of a colloquium series.
Before each colloquium lecture a bridging course will be held to introduce the students to the topics of the lectures. Students must choose one of the three bridging course sessions in which to give a presentation on a topic related to the topic of one of the colloquium lectures (taking place later that same day).

To be able to derive the maximum value from this course, it is recommended that students have had exposure to a course dealing with a domestic tax system. A basic knowledge of a European and international tax law would also be beneficial.
Student presentations:
Each student must choose one of the topics being presented at the colloquia to present in the bridging course of the respective day. Your presentation must relate to the topic, i.e., you should think about an interesting topic in the general area of the evening colloquium lecture.
To book your slot, please fill your name in one of the slots in the Word document tiled “Date and topic allocations” in the Collaborations menu option on the course’s Canvas page. There are 2-3 slots per topic. In this regard a “first-come-first served” approach will be followed. The document will be available from Monday 2 October 2023 at 16:00.
At this stage, we have only received the topics of the first date's colloquium lectures. The topics of the other colloquium lectures will become available a few weeks before the date of the colloquium lecture. Students will be informed as soon as the topics become known.

Time limit for presentations: 15 minutes
Each presentation will be followed by 20 minutes of feedback and discussion.
Students are not expected to present the fully researched seminar paper but rather just their preliminary ideas. Of course, the closer the presentation to the final paper, the better.
Students are required to email their presentation to the course instructors by 09:00 on the day of their presentation.
