Dear students and new graduates, We invite you to apply for the third Straniak Academy for Democracy and Human Rights, which will take place from 6 to 19 September 2015 in Ulcinj/Montenegro.

The Academy was established in 2013 by the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights – Research association (BIM) in Vienna in cooperation with the Faculties of Law and Social Sciences of the University of Vienna and the Faculties of Law and Political Science of the University in Montenegro.

The name of the Straniak Academy refers to the Hermann and Marianne Straniak Foundation, Sarnen/Switzerland, being the main facilitator of the Academy. The Foundation’s objective comprises, inter alia, the promotion of the goals, ideas and values of the European Convention of Human Rights, in particular in East and Southeast Europe.

The Academy was and is also supported by other sponsors i.e. the Central European Initiative (CEI), the agricultural company Agrana, the assurance company UNIQA, and several law firms such as Grilc Vouk Škof, Lansky Ganzger & partners, and others, providing stipends for students, as well as the Humboldt Society for German-Montenegrin cultural exchange.
