EUTopia PEAK EVENT: Connectedness in Legal History (Brussels: 14-15 March 2024)

(event poster; credits: dr. Elisabeth Bruyère) The European University EUTopia brings together universities across the European continent, as well as partners from the whole world. Students, academics and supporting staff live and work in a vibrant super-diverse microcosm every day. Logically, norms and practices are influenced by various layers of normativity. University research is increasingly targeted at the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Also, neither of us ever says no to learning opportunities, so we did not hesitate one minute to join. Months later, our professor and tutor Alfons gave us the news about the peak

Connected Learning Community Legal History 2022-2023 The EUTopia Connected Learning Community Legal History is working around the theme labour migration during the academic year 2022-2023. Labour migration The legal framework governing transnational, intra- or inter-imperial flows of human migration is an ideally suitable topic for our student driven community, which connects the campuses of the VUB (Brussels, Prof. Frederik Dhondt), CY Paris (Cergy, Prof. Caroula Argyriadis-Kervégan), Warwick (dr. Jane Bryan/dr. Rosie Doyle), Lisbon (Nova University, Prof. Christiana Nogueira da Silva) and Ljubljana (Prof. Katja Skrubej). Migration is very present and visible in our contemporary European cities and universities alike. It is linked with memory and intercultural exchange but also with relations of colonial/imperial exploitation [1] and the question of race, gender [2] and social hierarchy . Economic motives can act as push as well as pull-factors, [3] alongside persecut
