Each presentation will benefit from constructive recommendations by experts in animal law and comparative law.
This Symposium pursues various aims:
- to promote innovative research on animal law from a comparative perspective;
- to provide postgraduate students with an opportunity to discuss their current research on comparative animal law with their peers and a team of experts; and
- to allow for the creation of networks between young researchers from a wide range of cultural backgrounds having an interest in comparative animal law.
The Call for Abstracts will be opening soon.
