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). Funding is provided by the European Union, national, regional and sometimes even local governmental authorities, but also by multinational corporations. Universities have to abide by laws, regulations, legal principles and judicial decisions emanating from multiple jurisdictions, often not situated in the country wherein they are incorporated.

VIRTUAL EXHIBITION 2023/24: 'Connectedness in Legal History'

Uniting VUB, CY Paris, the University of Ljubljana, Nova University Lisbon and the University of Warwick this year the EUTOPIA Connected Learning Community Legal History has focused on the Connectedness in Legal History. Just as EUTopia connects students across Europe this year's theme, announced on November 30, looks back in history to see how connections are made through the law. This the VUB graciously held our Peak Event on  March 14 and 15  which allowed our students from each institute to meet each other in person. After touring Brussels and working on their presentations this has led to this year's blog posts. These have ranged from  Cheyenne Larivière's  look into the Constitution and governing of the Austrian Low Countries during the eighteenth-century to   Maéva Le Bot's  look at women's fight for feminism and labour equality with the unions. Below we have made a world map linking to each blog post and presentation spanning the globe from Slovenia...
