Overview

Urios is the Utrecht Study Association for International and European law. The association was founded in 1981 and has about 300 members, both Dutch and exchange students. The main goal of Urios is to introduce students to International and European law on a more practical level. The association organizes many activities and two symposia per year with great speakers. Every month there is a special activity such as a debate evening, a lecture or a visit to a place of special interest for law students. Every year Urios organizes two excursions abroad, one within Europe and one outside Europe. In the past members have been to places like Brussels, Geneva and New York. In the course of the year students will be informed about the destinations. Furthermore, Urios publishes its own journal on International and European Law, which is called, ‘Utrecht Journal for International and European Law’. This peer-reviewed online English periodical appears bi-annually. For those who would like to get a taste of diplomacy Urios has its own Model United Nations Society, which provides workshops, attends several MUN conferences a year and organizes its own MUN conference, URUMUN, in Utrecht.
