  • The CRIO Workshop

The CRIO Workshop aims at introducing students to alternative methods of learning of International and EU Law through peer to peer education, cooperative learning, mastery learning and mooting.

The CRIO Workshop is engaged in building up a new generation of young scholars with an international outlook, sponsoring seminar series, conferences, moot court competitions and students’ journal initiatives, such as CRIO PAPERS.  

Through the use of alternative methods of obtaining and sharing information other than traditional didactic curricula, CRIO Workshop inspires students to obtain a deeper knowledge of International and EU Law, simultaneously developing cross-curriculum skills.  

The CRIO Workshop's purpose is also to provide a student-led forum for developing knowledge, sharing experiences, and promoting career opportunities within the field of international and EU Law at the University of Catania School of Law. 
It endeavors to work closely with  local, national and international institutions and organizations, both public and private, to provide meaningful opportunities for learning, project-based research, and career assistance to students within the Law School. Acting in close cooperation with the International Law Students Association (ILSA), Catania Chapter, the CRIO Workshop is working towards deepening the alumni-student network to learn about career opportunities in international law and international affairs. CRIO provides students with monthly meeting points support as well as with online database resources allowing students to navigate job placements more easily and to get in contact with potential recruiters.
We encourage all students to attend CRIO-sponsored events and conferences and to come up to meet with a member of our board for more information about how to get involved!
