M-EPLI Talks
M-EPLI Talks offer a forum to share academic work and ideas. These meetings take place twice a month during the academic year at the Faculty of Law of Maastricht University. Guest speakers are invited to:
- Present work in progress, including papers and PhD dissertations.
- Present academic projects to M-EPLI Fellows, including book or conference projects.
- Critically comment on recent developments in the law, either at national or European levels, including changes in legislation, doctrine, and case law that might trigger future work in progress.
M-EPLI Talks are coordinated by Daniel On and Kate O'Reilly. Please contact the current coordinators if you are interested in presenting at our M-EPLI Talks.
In past years, these talks were coordinated by Agustín Parise (2016-2023), Bram Akkermans and Caroline Cauffman (2015-2016), and Nicole Kornet (2011-2015).
Attend M-EPLI Talks
M-EPLI talks are open to everyone in the Maastricht University community and beyond. Feel free to join us for one of the talks!
