Nordic Conference on the Politicization of Private International Law

On 11–12 June 2025, a conference organized by the Nordic Group for Private International Law (NGPIL) will take place at the Stockholm University. The topic is the politicization of private international law.

NGPIL is a network that brings together the shared legal traditions of the Nordic countries, while also embracing the mutual intelligibility of the Scandinavian languages.

The keynote speaker will be Henrik Saugmandsgaard Øe, former Danish Advocate General at the Court of Justice of the European Union, who will address the interpretation of EU private international law. In addition, several distinguished Nordic scholars will present their research during the conference.

To promote academic careers among young legal professionals and researchers, a dedicated session will highlight doctoral projects and outstanding student essays.

The full conference program is available here.

Attendance is free of charge, and registration is still open. Those wishing to attend are invited to write to helene.fotiadis.forssjo@juridicum.su.se.

The conference theme will also be developed into a special volume of the book series Scandinavian Studies in Law, edited by Lydia Lundstedt, Erik Sinander (volume editors) and Jaan Paju (general editor), all from Stockholm University. The anthology will include selected conference presentations as well as contributions from other invited Nordic scholars.
