Ciarán Burke is an academic, a lawyer, a Eurocrat, and a long-time supporter of the CLS Summer School. Ciarán is Professor and Senior Research Fellow at the Jena Center for Reconciliation Studies at the Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, Germany. He also works at the Internal Market Affairs Directorate of the EFTA Surveillance Authority in Brussels. He is the former Director of Research at the Law Reform Commission of Ireland, and has worked for a variety of governments, international organisations and NGOs.
Ciarán fell in love with the Czech mountains the first time he visited the CLS Summer School – as a student – in 2013. Since then, he has been back almost every year, either as a participant or a lecturer. While his recent elevation to academic director surprised him a bit, what surprised him even more was the cancellation of the 2021 School (which he was also supposed to lead) due to Covid-19. He is now on a mission to right that wrong, and to make the 2022 edition the best ever.
