Summary | Participation in the Eucotax Wintercourse involves the preparation of a substantial report, under supervision, on a topic of taxation, prior to participating in an intensive week of discussion and study of that topic with staff and students from other universities. This week culminates in the preparation by the group of a joint report covering the thirteen jurisdictions represented and after return, the final assessment requires reflection on the comparative element. |
