SEELS has been successful in bringing together Law Schools from South East Europe with the goal of institutionalising the exchange of legal academic expertise by offering legal education, research and professional training as well as facilitating the mobility of students, academics and legal practitioners.
Important discussion points at the meeting were the prospect of SEELS becoming an Institutional Observer to the ELI, the potential for the ELI to gain exposure via SEELS in the region of South East Europe where ELI Membership is currently still weak, as well as other possible forms of cooperation.
