Events

The Institute’s research thrives on communication. Symposia and conferences are a regular feature of our research programme. Our events generally feature international speakers and provide our scholars with findings that can be used in their publications. Prominent guest scholars also give talks at the Institute.

The events are oriented to specialists, employees of neighbouring law faculties and members of the public who are interested in law. Registration information is included in the specific listing for each event.
