A one-day conference hosted by The Institute of European Law at Birmingham Law School. https:\/\/www.birmingham.ac.uk\/research\/centres-institutes\/institute-of-european-law<\/a><\/p>\n

Date: 2 July 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract Submission Deadline:\u00a010 April 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vision<\/h1>\n

The Biannual \u201cThe Future of European Law and Policy\u201d conference organised by the Institute of European Law and Birmingham Law School since 2008, is the only open conference on EU law in the UK to which all interested academics, research students, and others may submit a paper proposal, rather than only on invitation. As such, the conference aims are:<\/p>\n

Educating one another about the national and supranational dimensions of EU law and policy, the latest research, and recent updates on law, policy, and education.<\/p>\n

Network-building to create connections between academics, lawyers, NGOs, and students interested in EU law, and enhance the impact of work on EU and UK policy making and legislation.<\/p>\n

Collaborating to generate new ideas and share good practice on the teaching of EU law.<\/p>\n

Call for papers<\/h1>\n

After the success of eight previous conferences since 2008, scholars and postgraduate research students in any discipline (law, politics, history, economics \u2026) are invited again to present papers on any issue on the Future of EU Law + Policy, especially: on the constitution of the EU (institutions, decision making\u2026), the EU and the individual (citizenship, human rights, \u2026), the EU and the economy (internal market, competition, \u2026), and the EU and the outside world (external relations, rearmament and Ukraine, sanctions, US, TCA \u2026).<\/p>\n

We are planning panels on the topic The UK and the EU: 10 years after the Brexit referendum. Papers on this issue are particularly welcome.<\/p>\n

Opening panel: The UK and the EU – the current and the future relationship<\/h1>\n

The opening panel of the conference will be introduced by a keynote address of the EU Ambassador followed by presentations of representatives of three relevant academic disciplines. We want to explore the relationship of the EU and the UK, the current state but also the future, from a political, legal, and economic angle.<\/p>\n
