The Doctoral School of the Faculty of Law of the West University of Timisoara, the European Center for Legal Studies and Research and the West University Foundation will organize the International Conference of Doctoral Students in Law, XI-th edition, in Timişoara, on June 21, 2019.

The purpose of organizing this event is to stimulate the capitalization of the scientific research of PhD students and law students, facilitating the publication of the results of the research activity, as well as establishing collaboration relations between the faculties and the doctoral schools to which the participants are registered.
