On the 18th and 19th Vilnius University Faculty of Law of Vilnius hosted the 10th International Conference of PhD students and young researchers “The Good, the Bad and the Legal: Balance between Stability and Disruptions of Law”. More than 30 PhD students from Lithuania, Poland, Germany, France, Belgium, Portugal and Slovenia participated in the scientific event. The young researchers discussed a wide range of topics, such as the challenges of artificial intelligence, environmental challenges to law, current human rights issues, etc.
The participants of the conference were greeted by vice dean assoc. prof. dr Vigita Vėbraitė. She stated that “this year’s 10th international conference of PhD students and young researchers at Vilnius University shows that it has become a traditional platform for doctoral students from different countries to discuss different topics in a friendly and relaxed environment. That was one of the objectives of the International Network of Doctoral Studies in Law when the agreement for the establishment of this network was signed in 2014.
During the opening of the conference also the introductory lecture on disruptive technologies in law, written by AI, was presented. On the second day of the conference, an introductory lecture on “Constitutional aspects of the 2023 French pension reform” was presented by assoc. prof. dr. Basile Ridard from University of Poitiers in France.
This conference is a traditional event of the International Network of Doctoral Studies in Law. A publication of the conference is also planned.
