Inspiration, motivation, and new friendships, these are the three words that best characterise European Student Assembly 2024 or ESA 24. The assembly took place from 10 to 12 April 2024, in Strasbourg, France, at the European Parliament.
On behalf of Comenius University Regional Academy we would like to invite students, teachers and researchers to the online lecture "The ambiguities of an unqualified human good" which will be given by András Sajó.
András Sajó is Doctor of Law, University Professor at Central European University, senior research fellow at CEU Democracy Institute, former judge and Vice President at European Court of Human Rights and a member of Oversight Board in Meta.
The aim of this talk is to discuss the potential and limits of the rule of law in constitutional self-defense. As a conceptual tool, 'rule of law' is ubiquitous, wielded by many including those not committed to the capacity of constitutionalism to impose restraints on unchecked power. In a narrow reading, the rule of law not only does not halt, but may even perpetuate ruler domination. But when recognizing this inherent limitation, it may serve as a powerful tool to respond to illiberal practices of cheating.

On behalf of Comenius University Regional Academy we would like to invite students, teachers and researchers to the online lecture "The dynamics in the decision-making process in the Council of the EU: what challenges ahead?" which will be given by Tomáš Kozák.
Tomáš Kozák is a Diplomat, EU Affairs Professional and Former Director General for European Affairs, MFEA Slovakia.
The aim of the talk is to present the decision-making process in the Council of the European Union, as well as the European Council, in the context of a broader EU institutional setting. While zooming in on dynamics among the Member States in the Council, the talk will offer insider views and experience regarding day-to-day working methods in the Council, as well. The lecture will be followed by a discussion.
The question how to improve decision-making process in the Council has been continuously discussed also in the context of EU enlargement and the need to strengthen the EU’s capacity to act. Switching from unanimity to qualified majority voting (QMV) is one of the ideas that resonated politically at national levels. The talk will strive to provide answers when it comes to maintaining the principle of equality of Member States and possible challenges in reaching decisions in an enlarged Union.
