The European Law Group is a Max Planck Law Initiative that brings together scholars (Postdocs and PhDs) of European Law for exchanges, research projects, conferences, and other events. It will focus not merely on European Union law but will take into account also other orders that function in the European legal sphere—especially the European Convention of Human Rights or the European Free Trade Association.
The European Law Group envisages two main types of events (others may follow):
1) An annual conference for researchers hosted by Max Planck Institutes or affiliated universities. The conference shall bring together scholars to create a forum for ‘new voices’ in European legal research. Researchers will be able to present their work and enter into exchanges with peers.
2) A monthly online meeting for group members to present their work and exchange ideas.
