With this conference, the faculties actively promote staff to present international oriented legal research papers in a friendly and stimulating research environment.
Over the two days, the conference has several parallel workshop-sessions in which researchers will be given the opportunity to present their latest research to their colleagues, discuss topics and expand their international network. The conference language is English.
Theme
The conference theme is “Public and Private Interests and the Law” and a substantial number of the workshops will be devoted to this theme. Furthermore, a keynote lecture will be given on the second day, specifically aimed at this topic. The other workshops in the conference will be open to all subjects, on e.g. Administrative, Private, Criminal law and also open to researchers using interdisciplinary approaches to law as sociology, economics and philosophy.
Depending on the number and quality of the papers, the organizing committee offers researchers the possibility of making papers available online on the conference website, and will contemplate publishing a conference volume targeted at the theme of the conference.
