EUCOTAX (European Universities COoperating on TAXes) is a joint initiative of several European universities and one North American university, created on the basis of a gentlemen's agreement of tax law professors. Its aim is cooperation on joint educational and research activities in the field of international, European and comparative tax law.
Under the Eucotax Wintercourse students from different countries prepare their theses on one of six subtopics falling within the main theme of a given Wintercourse edition, focusing on the tax system in their home country. The theses written by the students constitute a basis for the formulation of comparative conclusions during workshops which are the most important element of a Eucotax Wintercourse seminar.
The seminar in Lodz was attended by circa 100 persons, the majority of whom were foreign guests. The substantive and organizational quality of the seminar was highly appraised by the all participants.
