Habilitandenkolloquium
MPI for Private Law, Hamburg, 04.05.2009 - 05.05.2009
The sixth Habilitandenkolloquium will be held on 4-5 May 2009 at the Hamburg Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law. It will comprise 16 presentations from post-doctoral scholars, two of whom are senior research fellows at the Hamburg Max Planck Institute.The wide-ranging spectrum of topics to be addressed includes the comparative analysis of law of obligations questions, family and succession law, international private law, civil procedure, insolvency law, business law and legal history.
The Institute supports not only the habilitation (post-doctoral) projects of its own fellows but also sees itself responsible for bringing together the next generation of legal scientists and fostering both an exchange of ideas and the creation of academic networks. This aim has been pursued by the Institute every two years since the inception of the Habilitandenkolloquium in 1999. Invited to participate are post-doctoral scholars from German, Austrian and Swiss universities whose academic projects are related to the research undertaken at the Institute and whose work is sufficiently developed to allow a presentation of significant findings and conclusions. Additional participants include Institute fellows who themselves are working on their habilitation. The colloquia offer the participants the opportunity to present and discuss their theses among other scholars in a collegial forum. The colloquia which have been held thus far have also subsequently resulted in numerous scholarly exchanges and cooperations among their participants.
