Due to the current situation, we have regrettably decided to “take a break” and cancel this year’s Spring School. The reason for this is the still uncertain Corona situation. We currently assume that the participants in particular will not have been vaccinated by October of this year. Last year, we accepted the challenge of holding the Spring School under these limited conditions and were successful thanks to the great support of our sponsors, participants and speakers. However, we would like to offer the participants, sponsors and also speakers a Spring School with all the advantages and possibilities. Therefore, we have decided to cancel the October date and let the next Spring School 2022 take place as usual in spring from 6-11.3.2022 in Ettal. The program remains the same – we are currently in the process of informing the invited speakers about the postponement and inquiring whether this date would also be feasible.
We are looking forward to seeing you in March 2022. Registration will soon be possible….
Ettal, Bavaria, March 6 - 11, 2022

The 2020 issue of the Spring School was for the first time organized as a hybrid meeting in autumn, due to the on-going SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. For more information please read the News & Views article in the EJI:
Participation
Due to limited space the number of participants is restricted to 60. In general, we receive more applications than available places, and in this case the organizing committee selects the participants. Selection criteria are: level of education, number of applicants from a city/university/institute etc. Students who are at the start of their careers are generally recommended to attend the Autumn School first.

The venue
Ettal is a small but well known town in Bavaria near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in the Ammergauer Alps, the largest nature reserve in Germany. The village of Ettal is famous for the Benedictine Monastery founded by Ludwig IV - "the Bavarian" - in 1330. The unique monastery complex is one of the highlights of Bavarian Architecture.
Participants will stay at the hotel “Ludwig der Bayer” - a typical Bavarian hotel in the centre of Ettal. The lectures are held in the Chinese Hall of the Ettal monastery.
