EAPIL Conference
Shaping the Future of Private International Law in Europe
The third bi-annual conference of the European Association of Private International Law (EAPIL) will take place in Geneva on 18-20 June 2026, organised by Thomas Kadner Graziano.
The conference will offer an opportunity to reflect on current developments in private international law.
Presentations will then focus on the work of EAPIL on a proposal to consolidate the current European Private International Law regulations in one single instrument (EuPIL Act), as well as on proposals for rules on international property Law (including the protection of cultural objects) and on the relationship of European private international law with third States.
