See You in Wrocław Next Week!
The second conference of the European Association of Private International Law will take place in Wrocław on 6-8 June 2024. As the readers of this blog know, the topic of the event will be Private International Law and Global Crises.
Organised by Agnieszka Frąckowiak-Adamska, the conference will begin on 6 June, in the afternoon, with a key-note speech by Mateusz Pilich, followed by reports on PIL-related developments from the European Court of Human Rights (by judge Raffaele Sabato), the Court of Justice of the European Union (by Vincent Kronenberger) and the European Commission (by Andreas Stein).
On 7 June, after an opening session revolving around the question Can Private International Law respond to crises and if yes, how? (with Patrick Kinsch and Veronica Ruiz Abou-Nigm), three main subjects will be discussed: Private International Law, War and Armed Conflicts (with Iryna Dikovska and Tamas Szabados), Private International Law and the Rule of Law (with Alex Mills and Matthias Weller), and Private International Law and Climate Change (with Eduardo Alvarez Armas and Olivera Boskovic).
On 8 June the focus will turn to Private International Law and Global Supply Chains, with interventions by Rui Dias, Klaas Eller and Laura Carpaneto, followed by a roundtable regarding the way(s) in which private international law can contribute to a more sustainable life, with Hans van Loon, Patrick Kinsch and Veronica Ruiz Abou-Nigm.
