Research methods in Private International Law - launch events

Following the publication of the book Research Methods in International Private Law: A Handbook on Regulation, Research and Teaching (Elgar, 2024), edited by Xandra Kramer and Laura Carballo Piñeiro (see our earlier news item), we are organising two launch events.

The first webinar is on 10 September 2024, from 10-12 CEST. After a brief introduction by the editors, eminent contributors to the book will present their views on methods of regulation, research and education in private international law. Topics addressed include recognition as a method, European law perspectives, the essence of comparative law, law & economics, and feminism in private international law. The webinar is co-organised by the University of Vigo. Speakers are Dulce Lopes (University of Coimbra), Adriani Dori (Erasmus University Rotterdam), Diego P. Fernández Arroyo (Sciences Po Law School Paris), Giesela Rühl (Humboldt University of Berlin), and Mary Keyes (Griffith University of Brisbane). You can register here.

The second webinar is on 23 September 2024, from 10-11.30 CEST. This webinar will zoom in on the importance and methodology of education in private international law, addressing general educational aspects from the perspective of laymen and colonialism as well as teaching private international law in different jurisdictions, including The Netherlands and Nigeria. This webinar is co-organised by the University of Vigo, the American Society of International Law (ASIL) and hosted by the University of Sydney (moderated by Jeanne Huang). Speakers are Veronica Ruiz Abou-Nigm (University of Edinburgh), Chukwuma Okoli (Birmingham Law School), Abubakri Yekini (University of Manchester), Ramani Garimella (South Asian University) and Aukje van Hoek (University of Amsterdam).You can register here.

As part of a research collaboration, Adriani Dori continues her role as a visiting researcher at the University of Genoa for the year 2024, building upon the foundation laid in the previous year. Under the supervision of Professor Michele Siri of the Genoa Centre of Law and Finance, Adriani’s research will further explore the intersection of procedural fairness and financial regulation, with a focus on Third-Party Funding of Civil Litigation (TPLF). This extension opens avenues for enhanced synergies between the VICI project and the academic community in Genoa, fostering collaborative teaching and research activities. Moreover, plans are underway for a joint seminar on TPLF organized by Genoa and VICI, facilitating knowledge exchange and academic dialogue in this critical area of study.
