Conferences
Juridical Days in Olomouc
The International Conference Juridical Days in Olomouc will be held on April 25, 2019. The Conference takes place annually and represents the most important event in the area of scientific life at the Faculty of Law in Olomouc.
The conference consists of two parts, as usual. Prominent experts will participate in the opening plenary session. The theme of the plenary session will be "30 years of posttotalitarian legal order". The second part takes place in thematic sections.
Olomouc Debates of Young Lawyers
The Olomouc meetings are intended as a place for constructive debate, brainstorming and creative searching for answers to established questions. This conference traditionally creates an environment for open debate over various topics. The majority of time is reserved for free discussion, a form preferred over presentation of a vast amount of contributions.
Recent years of the debates have demonstrated that the Olomouc meetings are not only a professional competition among the participants, but also a space for establishing professional and especially interpersonal connections. They also are in line with the conference motto "Cooperation and Friendship".
