Call for Papers
Europe overseas: Civil and common law receptions, 12-14 May 2008 in Bergen, Norway
The REUNA-network will organise its eight meeting from the 12th to the 14th of May in Bergen, Norway. All members of the network are warmly invited to participate in the workshop, which topic will be “Europe overseas: Civil and common law receptions”.
The emphasis of the meeting will be on the presentation of the participants’ papers in a series of workshops, and we hope to see as many as possible presenting a paper in the workshop. Paper proposals for the workshop sessions are invited on the ongoing research projects of the network participants, including both dissertations and post-doc research. This is a splendid opportunity to get feedback and to discuss aspects of the research that are especially interesting, challenging or right out troublesome.
The plenary sessions will be devoted to presentations given by the keynote speakers. In this regard, we are very happy to announce the participation of Professor Thomas Duve (Buenos Aires) and Professor Angelo Forte (Aberdeen).
In order to simplify the planning of the workshop sessions, we wish for short synopses of proposed workshop contributions, not exceeding 200 words, to be sent to the organizers upon registration the 3rd of March. The final versions of papers should be app. 4-7 pages and be sent to the organizers by the 1st of May, after which they will be available to the participants on the REUNA-site (http://www.helsinki.fi/project/reuna/).
The languages of the meeting are English and German.
The meeting venue is at the Faculty of Law, at the University in Bergen. The workshop starts on Monday 12th of May at 19.00 with dinner at Lille Escalon and ends on Wednesday 14th at app. 16.00. The REUNA-network will cover and arrange the flights to and from Bergen and accommodation. We have booked rooms for the participants in the Grand Hotel Terminus right next to the train and bus station. Travel arrangements ought to be made by the organisers upon registration via a travel agency.
Registration for the workshop ends on the 3rd of March.
