5. Speaker:Roger Van den Bergh Consortium: EMLE Added value for European and third country students European students - Integration of two disciplines - Additional opportunities in the labour markets - Getting familiar with different cultures (improving language skills, learning social differences) Third country students - See above - Law and Economics is very relevant for the development of the market economy in transition countries - Getting familiar with the institutional framework of the European Union - Being confronted with teaching methods at a number of top European universities

6. Speaker:Roger Van den Bergh Consortium: EMLE Legal, technical and content constraints to implement a pan-European curriculum Legal constraints - Requirement of legally recognised degrees - Problem of multiple accreditation - Disharmony between EM rules and accreditation rules Technical constraints - High administrative worklaod (large overhead costs) - Organisation of mobility flows (visa, accommodation) Content constraints - Impossible to discuss in detail 27 European legal systems and an even higher number of non-European legal systems; need to focus on broad principles

7. Speaker:Roger Van den Bergh Consortium: EMLE Long term sustainability Financial viability - Financial support for consortium members (the program must be self-supporting in most EC countries) - Additional financial support for students coming from new Member States and candidate countries - Creating additional windows next to the Asian windows Attractiveness - Need to develop an EM quality label - Efficient marketing campaigns

8. Speaker:Roger Van den Bergh Consortium: EMLE The role of Alumni Associations EMLE Alumni Association - Advice on course contents - Promoting job opportunities EM Alumni Association - Limited potential

9. Speaker:Roger Van den Bergh Consortium: EMLE EMLE: Achievements and remaining challenges Strengths - Interdisciplinarity - Increasing number of applications in different fields of law; increasing job opportunities - 16 years experience in organising joint master programme Remaining challenges - Financial sustainability - Solving the problem of multiple accreditations
