One of the long-term objectives of the EUTOPIA alliance is to set up sustainable researcher networks. EUTOPIA Connected Research Communities Incubators aims to connect research initiatives across EUTOPIA and beyond and enable researchers and innovators to grow their ideas in any science and technology field by sharing them with their peers. The EUTOPIA Connected Research Communities is a bottom-up call for networks focusing on activities related to a global challenge or SDG to boost societal, economic, political and/or scientific impact.

EUTOPIA CRC Conference on "International Rule of Law in Context"

Within the EUTOPIA European University alliance framework, the University of Gothenburg, the University of Ljubljana, and the University of Warwick are organising a digital conference on the theme “International Rule of Law in Context”, on 8 November 2022. The keynote Speaker is Simon Walker, Chief, Rule of Law and Democracy Section, Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Researchers, teachers, practitioners, and students are welcome. No reservation is needed.

The “Rule of Law” is a familiar concept in legal research. It has been defined differently, but at the core lies the principle that a society should be governed under the laws. Public power should not be exercised arbitrarily. This idea goes back to antiquity and has been an important part of the evolution of our modern nation-states. However, in the present globalised world, a significant amount of public power is exercised at the international level when states enter into agreements with each other and establish international organisations and courts. An important example is, of course, the European Union (EU). But there are also many other examples. It can even be argued that the Rule of Law plays an important role when assessing the constituent parts of the international legal order itself as a system of governing sustainable relationships between societies. Therefore, it also makes sense that promoting the Rule of Law at the international level is mentioned as a target under UN Sustainable Development Goal 16.

While research about Rule of Law issues at the national level is comprehensive, research about such issues at the international level is more limited. Moreover, since international law is a very broad field, the Rule of Law does not necessarily play the same role in different contexts. The conference gathers researchers and practitioners who have worked with and approached Rule of Law issues in different ways within different international law contexts. The purpose is to explore what these different contexts can learn from each other.
