1. Legal Clinics and International Law: A Growing Interaction – Conference. On 15 June 2023, the Department of Law, Roma Tre University is holding an ESIL-supported hybrid conference on ‘Legal Clinics and International Law: A Growing Interaction’ to discuss opportunities and challenges of the clinical movement in relation to public international law. To facilitate a fruitful discussion, Directors of PIL legal clinics acting in Europe are invited to fill an on-line questionnaire by Thursday 18 May.
2. Call for Abstracts: DILEMA Conference on AI. On 12–13 October 2023, the DILEMA Project is organising a conference around the complex and interdisciplinary issues raised by military applications of artificial intelligence (AI). The DILEMA conference will offer a broad platform to engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue around both theoretical and practical questions related to military AI, and feature some of the latest research insights from the fields of law, ethics, computer science, and other disciplines. The conference will include keynote presentations by invited speakers, as well as panel presentations based on an open call for abstracts. The format of the conference will be geared towards fostering dialogue, exchanges, and debates amongst and across disciplines, so as to build some common ground, move the debate forward, and develop new ideas. Submissions of abstracts (maximum 600 words) are invited on topics related to the theme of the conference from varied disciplines and methodological approaches. The deadline for submissions is 31 May 2023, 23:59 CET. More information and the abstract submission form can be found here.
3. Call for Papers: Legal Protection of Carbon Sinks in the Fight Against Climate Change. UCD Sutherland School of Law invites paper submissions on the topic ‘Legal protection of carbon sinks in the fight against climate change: Interactions between ecosystem protection and human rights’. The call intends to offer academics, including early-career researchers, as well as practitioners a forum to analyse and discuss how the legal response to climate change could be enhanced through the protection and botim database restoration of those ecosystems that act as carbon sinks. See further details here. Interested contributors are asked to submit a title and an abstract of around 400 words to the organisers at [email protected] by 9 June 2023. Papers will be presented at a research workshop which will be held on 4-5 December 2023 at UCD Sutherland School of Law (Dublin, Ireland).
4. Call for Abstracts: International Academic Workshop – Exploring Linkages between Rule of Law Backsliding and Human Rights. On Tuesday 26 September 2023, at Utrecht University, The Netherlands. When a country enters a phase of rule of law backsliding, it often finds itself on a slippery slope that seems to lead inexorably to a full-blown rule of law crisis. The purpose of this workshop is to explore different ways of finding the ‘brakes’ on such a slippery slope, by investigating the linkages between rule of law backsliding and international human rights law and mechanisms. Proposals are invited for papers comprising an abstract (of a maximum 350 words). These should be submitted, together with a cover letter by 15 May 2023, in one single PDF document. The cover letter should include a one-paragraph CV (of a maximum of 200 words) and explain in a few sentences the context of the paper: i.e. whether it is part of a PhD project, whether it is based on undertaken empirical research or part of ongoing research etc.
