Contemporary Legal Challenges: Programme-Abstracts

Abstract

The international conference “Contemporary legal challenges: EU – Hungary – Croatia” is organized by the Faculty of Law, J.J. Strossmayer University of Osijek on the 16-18 February 2012 in the framework of the Strenghtening UNIversity Cooperation Osijek – Pécs project (SUNICOP; HUHR/1001/2.2.1). SUNICOP is a one-year long common research and curriculum development project between the University of 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 SUNICOP project is operated in various interrelated areas and through various activities. Among these, creating joint regional research in the field of law, sharing knowledge in specific cross-border issues, enhancing cooperative teaching activity and curriculum development, exchange of good practice in tendering and project management, promotion of joint results, can be mentioned. These objectives are achieved through different activities: organizing common seminars and summer school with the participation of Croatian and Hungarian students, and common research with the involvement of Croatian and Hungarian researchers. Organizing the conference “Contemporary legal challenges: EU – Hungary – Croatia”, where the knowledge gained during the joint research activities can be shared, is yet another result of activities envisaged by the SUNICOP project. To attract the widest possible audience who can benefit from the research results, the conference papers are collected and published in one book in English and two ebooks in Hungarian and Croatian, available at the website of the project (http://sunicop.eunicop.eu). The Faculty of Law of the University J.J. Strossmayer of Osijek is priviledged to host the conference and hopes that the cooperation will be continued.
