Law – Regions – Development : Programme-Abstracts

Abstract

The international conference entitled ‘Law – Regions – Development. Legal implications of local and regional development’ is organized by the Faculty of Law, University of Pécs with the J.J. Strossmayer University of Osijek and held in Pécs on the 14-15 June 2013. The Conference is one of the events of the DUNICOP project (Deepening UNIversity Cooperation Osijek – Pécs project; HUHR/1101/2.2.1/005). 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 co-financed 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 succesfull continuation of previuos EUNICOP and SUNICOP projects. Among the activities one can find joint regional research, focusing on the field of regional development and environmental protection, enhancing cooperative teaching activity and curriculum development, exchanging good practices in tendering and project management as well as quality assurance, and promotion of joint results. Organizing the conference ‘Law – Regions – Development. Legal implications of local and regional development’, where the knowledge gained during the joint research activities can be shared, is yet another result of activities envisaged by the DUNICOP project. To attract the widest possible audience who can benefit from the research results, the conference papers are collected and published in three books in Croatian, Hungarian and English. The Faculty of Law, University of Pécs is much priviledged to host the conference and hopes that the cooperation will be continued. Tímea Drinóczi and Mirela Župan
