Registrations Are Open for the EAPIL Winter School in Como
As announced on this blog, the inaugural edition of the European Association of Private International Law Winter School will take place in Como between 12 and 16 February 2024.
Organised by the University of Insubria, in cooperation with the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, the University of Murcia and the University Osijek, this year’s edition of the Winter School will be devoted to Personal Status and Family Relationships.
The lectures, in English, will discuss a range of issues relating to the cross-border continuity of status, filiation, and family relationships between adults.
