The AEAJ Working Group on Environmental Law held its annual seminar on 18–19 September 2025 in Würzburg, generously hosted by the Administrative Court of Würzburg.

The programme combined legal discussions with social activities, including a group dinner, a visit to Würzburg historic center and a boat trip to Veitshöchheim and its Rococo Garden.
