Guided by leading international experts and practitioners, the participants acquire practical knowledge on the investigation, prosecution and adjudication of core international crimes.

The Nuremberg Summer Academy may be organised in person or online. When organised in person, it provides participants with the opportunity to participate in study visits to the historic Courtroom 600 of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice, the Memorium Nuremberg Trials, the Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds and the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site.
