Lifelong learning is essential for those engaged in today's legal and business world. To meet the high demand for short professional courses, the T.M.C. Asser Instituut is launching a new and innovative professional education series in international legal practice: The Asser Academy Masterclass series. Short courses tailored to professionals who wish to deepen their knowledge and stay current and competitive by mastering skills the global market needs. The Asser Academy Masterclass series will combine the cutting-edge knowledge of academia with the hands-on experience of practitioners.

Intensive two-day courses
The Asser Academy Masterclass series offers intensive two-day courses that will provide you with knowledge and skills essential to your daily practice. Topics in the series are highly diverse and range from the operation of the FIFA transfer system to the regulation of the phenomenon of foreign fighters. There are Masterclasses on private international law and on the practical application of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. The Masterclass Art & International Law caters to lawyers who want to expand their toolbox with insights from the arts and visual studies. (See the full training offer below.)

Cutting-edge research
The Asser Academy Masterclass series draws on the core expertise of Asser researchers and their extensive links to the academic community and professional networks. Cutting-edge research informs our teaching, so participants can expect to benefit from the most up-to-date information on each topic. In each Masterclass, guest speakers and practitioners will discuss practical examples and engage with hands-on professionals.

Small groups
Each Masterclass will consist of a small group of participants (20-25 people max), offering plenty of room for interaction and exchanges. Our approach to the issues will be multidisciplinary, and you will be exposed to various perspectives: academic, peer-to-peer and practitioners.

Tailored to meet its specific educational goals, each Masterclass will feature a variety of didactic formats, e.g., lectures, workshops, case studies and open discussions. Participants will develop personally and professionally by becoming part of a group of international legal experts interested in similar issues who can help bring new ideas to life.

Key takeaways
