The opening ceremony of the Centre for European Law and Integration
will be held at the Yerevan State University on the 3rd of May, 2007.

The Centre was created in 2006 at the Yerevan State University under
the auspices of the EU-funded Establishment of a Chair for European
and International Law and Centre for European Law and Integration at
Yerevan State University and Partnership and Cooperation Agreements
Promotion (ECEILAW) project. The total funding of the project is
1.000,000 EUR. The primary objective of the project is to ensure the
availability of qualified professionals and stimulate research in
the areas of European law, European economy and EU Integration policy.

Currently the Centre is involved in public awareness and is closely
collaborating with the Law Faculty of the Yerevan State University. In
March 2007 the Centre launched an internship program to engage
master students of law, international affairs, Romano-Germanic
languages and economics faculties into research on EU and wide range
of European issues. During its short period of existence, the Centre
has initiated the process of publication of a quarterly and a brochure
covering European Law, European Integration issues and EU-Armenia
relations. The Centre has been setting cooperation links with local
and international organisations.

Conveniently located in the premises of the Yerevan State University,
the Centre plans to have a Resource Centre with the library (2000
books) to facilitate information access to electronic information
resources and databases on European Law, European Economic and
Political Integration issues. The library will provide information
and publishing services to researchers, teachers, students and others
interested.
