ELSA's Seminars and Conferences key area serves to complement the formal university curriculum by raising students' consciousness and understanding of global, legal, social, economic and environmental issues. The programme includes

• Seminars
• Conferences
• Law schools
• Study visits

International Seminars and Conferences are events that deal with a legal topic of high international interest and provide additional skills and knowledge to its participants. While on a seminar, topics are discussed in a plenary. Conferences entail more individual participation and scientific contribution, therefore topics are discussed in workshops to be finally reported in plenary.

An international seminar or conference provides accommodation for the participants and lasts at least 3 days. More than 50 international seminars and conferences are held annually.

An ELSA Law School is an event that aims to be annual and has a scientific programme with a legal topic. An ELSA Law School is organised in close co-operation with the academic or institutional partner(s), i.e. with the law faculty, law institutes etc. The scientific programme includes lectures followed by workshops, which deepen and emphasise different areas of the lecture.

Study visits are organised by at least one local group. Study visits may be single, bilateral, multilateral, or institutional. Institutional study visits are study visits to international governmental or non-governmental organisations, public administrations or private institutions.
