The conference will be held in a hybrid format, both at the SEEU campus in Tetovo and online, bringing together researchers, university professors, international experts, and legal professionals. Entitled “Legal Reforms and European Integration: Strengthening the Rule of Law in the Western Balkans,” the conference aims to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge and discussion of contemporary legal challenges, with a particular focus on legal reforms, European integration, and strengthening the rule of law in the Western Balkans.
The programme on the first day, 18 November, will feature presentations and discussions in various fields of law, including constitutional, criminal, civil, commercial, and family law, as well as human rights and European integration. It will also address issues related to digitalization and artificial intelligence. The second day, 19 November, will be dedicated to the theme “Migration, Mobility and Education across Borders,” focusing on migration, mobility, cross-border education, the recognition of qualifications, and academic and professional mobility.
The conference will feature two internationally renowned keynote speakers: Prof. Jan De Groof, a scholar of education law and former UNESCO Chargé de Mission for the Right to Education, who will participate on both days of the conference; and Prof. Dirk Vanheule, Professor of Migration Law at the University of Antwerp and Director of the Government and Law Research Group, who will deliver his contribution on the second day.
