Law – Regions – Development

Abstract

The international conference entitled ‘Law – Regions – Development. Legal implications of local and regional development’ was one of the events of the DUNICOP project (Deepening UNIversity Cooperation Osijek – Pécs project; HUHR/1101/2.2.1/005) managed by the two partner law faculties in Pécs and Osijek. DUNICOP is a one-year long common research and curriculum development project between the Universities in Osijek and Pécs in the field of law. The project is cofinanced and supported by the European Union through the Hungary-Croatia IPA Cross-border Co-operation Program and by the two participating law faculties. The DUNICOP project is operated in various interrelated areas and through various activities and is regarded as a successful continuation of the previous EUNICOP and SUNICOP projects. The conference, similarly to the previous ones, gave opportunity to Hungarian and Croatian researchers to conduct common research activity and encouraged them to write and present papers together at the conference that was held in Pécs on the 14-15 June 2013. The project made it also possible for researchers to finalize their papers either before or after the conference and adjust them to other papers as well as to the final conclusions of the conference. Attracting the widest audience possible who can benefit from the research results is also one of the objectives of the project. Therefore, the conference papers have been collected and published in three books in Croatian, Hungarian and English. An electronic version of these books can be found on our websites and printed versions of proceedings in English and Croatian are also available. The Faculty of Law, University of Pécs feels much privileged to have been given the opportunity to host the conference and hopes that cooperation will not cease, but will be continued either at the institutional or personal level.
