is the Utrecht study association for International and European law. The association was founded in 1981 and has about 250 members, both Utrecht students and exchange students. The main goal of Urios is to introduce students to International and European law on a more practical level. The association organizes many activities and two symposia per year with great speakers. Every month there is a special activity, such as a debate evening, a lecture or a visit to a place of special interest for law students. 

Urios also organises two excursions abroad per year, one within Europe and one outside Europe. In the past, members have been to places like Brussels, Geneva and New York. During the course of the year, students will be informed about the destinations. Furthermore, Urios publishes its own journal on International and European Law, which is called ‘Utrecht Journal for International and European Law’. This peer-reviewed online English periodical appears bi-annually. Upcoming events are announced in the newsletter, which appears monthly. More information about the activities can be found on the .
