Peak event report: UPF students

Hello! Before we begin, we would like to introduce ourselves. We are the UPF team: Maria Calvet, Maria Teresa Tous and Lidia Baeza. This is our first post in the blog and we dedicated it to a global assessment of last month's Peak Event in Paris. Why did you join? The three of us were contacted by Professor Alfons Aragoneses in September, even before starting the academic year. We went for a coffee all together and he presented the initiative to us: conducting a research project revolving around the common theme of the conference, minority rights through history within a legal framework. Being law students and also very involved in the academic international life in university, we thought that a learning community would be an interesting thing to be a part of, as it seemed something very new for us. 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

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.

Peak event report: VUB students

Depending on the point of view, Paris is either seen as Brussels in big, or Brussels as ‘petit-Paris’. In this blogpost we, the EUTopia students from Brussels, guide you through Paris from the viewpoint of a small minority in a very big city. We write this blogpost, in true EUTopian spirit, in three different languages, providing thoughts on engaging encounters, thought-provoking presentations and winding walks through Paris. The song 'Bruxelles je t’aime', by the Brussels-born-but-living-in-Paris singer Angèle, serves as a welcome guide. Day one: quiet before the storm? Not in Paris! Et sûrement que dès ce soir le ciel couvrira une tempête Mais après l'orage, avec des bières, les gens feront la fête En of het Peak Event ons aansprak. Een dik uur Thalys, een korte metrotrip en twee keer rond het indrukwekkende Monument à la République stonden we naast studenten uit Warwick, Ljubljana en Barcelona. Wanneer het regent in Parijs, druppelt het in Brussel. Maar wann
