This Annual Meeting takes place with the friendly support from our event sponsors:
In 1981, the European Law Students’ Association (ELSA) was founded in Vienna by four committed law students from Austria, Hungary, Germany and Poland. Since then, ELSA has grown to the largest independent law student’s association in the world. ELSA is active in 44 countries and 432 law faculties and has over 60,000 members today.
ELSA Alumni connects the alumni of ELSA and is a global community of political, government, business, legal and NGO leaders.
The Annual Meeting will take place in Bratislava, Slovakia from 07 – 09 October 2022 and will acknowledge the shared responsibility of ELSA International and ELSA Alumni to promote a just world in which there is respect for human dignity and cultural diversity underpinned by the rule of law. The event is – typical for ELSA – aimed at facilitating successful substantive and personal networking between active people at universities and active people in professional life, Europe’s current and future leaders.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Bratislava. The main purpose of the Annual Meeting is to bring together ELSA students and Alumni members all over Europe to build networks and to contribute to discussions about how to improve our network.

Bratislava is a lovely city on the beautiful blue Danube, arguably the most important river in central Europe. And no, the river was not named after Johann Strauss' waltz. It was the other way round. It is said that Strauss composed the first melodies of his famous waltz in Bratislava in 1852. The river has long been of the utmost importance to Bratislava. In the first century, it served as a border of the Limer Romanus, protecting the Roman Empire from barbaric Germanic tribes. Later it helped protect the city from Tartars and Turks. Nowadays the Danube serves as a national boundary between Slovakia, Hungary and Austria. Now having talked so much about this beautiful river it is meant to be included into our program. Friday evening we will go on a boat trip! You are invited to have an exchange of generations, nations, and positions while cruising over the river and enjoying the lovely landscape while doing so. Once we are back at the port, the boat will be transformed into our party location. We are looking forward to an joyful mood, informal conversations with old and new friends and, above all, a get-together at eye level. There will be fingerfood and drink vouchers provided. Saturday evening is the time for our Gala Dinner.
