About
The two European Law Centres of Cambridge and Durham University have joined forces to organise a workshop on the "External Relations Law of the European Union". This will bring together academics and doctoral researchers from both institutions, as well as a number of guest speakers, to discuss a variety of topics related to the Union’s contribution on the international scene. The workshop will take place in Cambridge and is organised as an informal colloquium and exchange of ideas between younger and more seasoned European lawyers.
The theme of the workshop concentrates on the external aspects of European law. The Union is – of course – an important international actor; yet one that is still struggling to define its constitutional and international relations identity. And to shed light on a variety of perspectives. The workshop is organised into three panels; panel one will analyse the "Constitutional Framework of EU External Relations", including the institutional arrangements in which the Union conducts its external affairs; panel two concentrates on the "International Law Aspects of EU External Affairs"; while panel three moves to discuss some "Sectorial Aspects of EU External Relations", such as the Union’s investment policy and neighbourhood policy.
The workshop, which will take place at the Moller Centre, is by invitation only.
