The 4th Biennial Conference of the European Society of International Law (ESIL) will be hosted by the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, University of Cambridge on 2-4 September 2010. The conference follows its predecessors in Florence, Paris and Heidelberg and will welcome around 350 delegates to the historic city of Cambridge.
Cambridge, a relatively small city dominated by the historic buldings of the University and Colleges, is a wonderful location for a conference of this calibre. Away from the intellectual stimulus guaranteed by the conference, the city offers some wonderful and unique experiences, such as tours of the historic Colleges and activities such as punting.
The University, which celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2009, is one of the world’s leading academic institutions and comprises 31 Colleges and over 150 departments, faculties and other institutions. The Lauterpacht Centre is the scholarly home of international law at the University of Cambridge and a premier centre in the UK for international law research. The Centre is one of specialist centres of the Faculty of Law and resides in its own, beautiful Victorian buildings, a few minutes’ walk from the other conference venues.
The Lauterpacht Centre is delighted to be hosting the 4th ESIL Biennial Conference and looks forward to welcoming you to Cambridge in September.
