The Institute of Legal Research of the Faculty of Law of the University of Coimbra promotes the event "Mind the Gap: Connecting the dots between Legal Research and Society", taking place on the 3rd of May.
The initiative will bring together academics, representatives of European institutions and associations/think tanks. The invited speakers will share their views and expertise on policy-making and the creation of impact-driven science.
The roundtable format will enable experts to share experiences with the audience in a collaborative way, where participants can connect the dots and reflect on the path of science and the contribution of Legal research to society.
This is a hybrid event with free online participation, but with mandatory registration, available here.
