The coronavirus, even though 0,000 000 02 meters small, has its impact on many aspects of our society as we know it. It has already caused half a million cases worldwide, and even thousands of deaths. It will probably make its mark for years to come, or in some parts even permanently. 

This impact requires a huge level of adaptation from us human beings. You are already doing an excellent job if you keep following the rules of staying at home as much as possible, washing your hands often and keeping your distance from others. But some of you like to pursue new creative ways of thinking to help the parts of society that have felt the impact the most. The Amsterdam Law Hub wants to stimulate these creative endeavors.

Send us your great ideas

Have you started something during this crisis to help others? Big, or very small? We want to seek out and reward you with 500 EUR, as an encouragement to keep up the good work! Be it by helping people with legal advice online or within the scope of human rights and justice issues that are starting to evolve in health care, education, self-isolation, housing or work. Please reach out to us! Send us an email via amsterdamlawhub@uva.nl, with the following information:

1. Who are you and what do you do? (A short biography that tells us if you are a student or researcher, etc.)
2. How is your work/activity helping people during the coronacrisis?
3. Can you send us proof of what you've done so far (a URL, picture, video, blog, etc.)?

Deadline: 15 april 2020

After your submission, we will make selections before 15 April 2020. If there are multiple great initiatives, we may invite you to do an online presentation to a jury.

Keep up the good work, stay healthy, and we hope to hear from you!
