The thesis must be written in one of the EU languages.
The winner, selected by an ad hoc jury comprised from the European Group of Public Law, is invited to present his/her ideas and thoughts expressed in the thesis at the EGPL Annual Reunion (next September in Greece), while an article based on his/her thesis is published in the European Review of Public Law.
