Join the PhD Workshop on European/International Insolvency Law
From Wednesday-Thursday 19-20 April 2023 the Stichting Bob Wessels Insolvency Law Collection (BWILC) the last PhD Workshop took place at Leiden University. For spring 2024, BWILC invites PhD students from Europe and beyond to participate in the 6th edition of the PhD workshop on European/International Insolvency Law. Following four successful editions, PhD students are invited to come together to be able again to present their research ideas.
The workshop aims at achieving two main goals. First, it provides PhD students in the area of European/International Insolvency Law, from Europe and beyond a chance to connect with peers who are at more or less the same stage of their academic career. They can meet, exchange experiences and create a network. Second, the workshop will allow each participant to present, test and discuss its (developing) ideas in front of fellow colleagues as well as experienced professors.
Held for the first time in 2019, the PhD Workshop will now take place for the sixthtime. In an effort to support younger academics, BWILC has annually organised the workshop, adopting an online or hybrid format during the COVID-19 years. As a result, BWILC will celebrate its first lustrum, which will be marked at the upcoming PhD Workshop.
