ELSA Webinars and ELSA Webinars Academy
Definitions
S&C projects are organised not only in a physical form. Recently, a lot of attention has been devoted to the development of online forms enabling access to knowledge also in virtual reality. In this regard, we can distinguish two projects:
ELSA Webinars: educational events taking place in the digital sphere which are open for everyone and organised by Organising Committees of one or more National or Local Groups of ELSA.
ELSA Webinars Academy: a project of ELSA, which is organised by Organising Committees of one or more National or Local Groups of ELSA and coordinated by ELSA International and fulfils the requirements regulated in the International Council Meeting Decision Book. ELSA Webinars Academy is broadcasted to an online audience, defined by an international nature with a focus on the academic aspect of the law.
Requirements
ICM Decision Book regulates the set of requirements necessary to fulfil for each project.
ELSA Webinars

The Event shall be open for everyone including ELSA members, ELSA Alumni, non-ELSA members, non-law students, professionals and other people interested in the topic.

ELSA Webinars Academy is a series of classes designed to provide participants with a full course on a given topic. Therefore, the minimum length of an event is 5 webinars of at least one hour. However, nothing prevents the organisation of a longer course, if the subject requires it.

Supervision of an academic or institutional partner is necessary. Academic/institutional partner is an entity/a person with whom the Organising Committee can discuss their ideas regarding the topic of the EWA in the initial stage of organisation. It shall be a law faculty, public institution, law firm or any other legal entity which is entitled to provide education, professional legal services or otherwise associated professionals in a particular field of law. They might advise on which topics are most pertinent and valuable for the EWA, help in searching for speakers and providing contact with them.
Promoted using the ELSA Webinars Academy Marketing Kit
Each ELSA Webinars Academy shall comply with the unified promotion created for strengthening the brand recognition. Therefore, each Organising Committee is obliged to use only the official materials prepared by ELSA International and distributed to the Network in the form of Marketing Kit.
