At the 18th Salzburg Summer School “European Private Law”, held from 3 – 15 July, 2017, at the University of Salzburg under the direction of Professor Michael Rainer, 40 teachers from Europe and approximately 150 students took part. There was no sense of an anti-European sentiment.

This year’s Week of Higher Education Institutions (Hochschulwochen), which will be held 31 July to 6 August, is devoted to the “public”.
