Young scholars* program: navigating health law in an evolving Europe from an early career stage

Co-leads: Cato Deprez (Leuven), Tamara Hervey (City, London), Wendy Kwaku Yeboah (Bologna)

The program aims to enable the upcoming generation of scholars (primarily PhD students) to navigate the frontiers of their chosen discipline. 

Details of the program – co-produced by Cato Deprez and Wendy Kwaku Yeboah, early career scholars, and Tamara Hervey, who has been involved in the discipline for several decades – are here. 

The program is based on ‘active learning’, and on seeking to ‘flatten’ distinctions between people at different career stages. All participants are expected to come to the program prepared to participate. Details of advance preparation needed are here.

* by ‘young scholars’ we denote only career stage, not biological age
