Academics/institutions are kindly encouraged to fill this form according to layoutsand proposed criteria/suggestionsprovided below (if relevant). Filled forms should not exceed 1-2 page(s) per initiative.

[1]This section is reserved to national administrators/focal points of Moot Courts, e.g. as for Jessup, Sperduti Prize, etc. As for the perspective of Universities/Departments involved in these initiatives please refer to the subsequent table 2.2.

[2] If possible one single form should be filled by involved Universities/Departments. This could be favored in case same coaches manage multiple initiatives or there are some interactions among different initiatives. Otherwise separate forms could still be arranged.

[3] This section might be used to describe some significant experience of interaction with students as provided by recourse to e-platforms and digital tools (as Moodle and similar devices, use of social media for class purposes as Facebook groups and other forums managed by professors) or the use of pedagogical tools related to lecturing activities (eg. use of movies, videos, quizzes, virtual scenarios, management of on-site visits to institutions relevant for international/EU Law).
