40 years of European integration

5 and 6 November 2026 | Carvalho Guerra Auditorium 

Marking 40 years since Portugal joined the European Union, this conference aims to foster a debate on the European framework for preventing and combating violence against women, analysing developments from the Istanbul Convention to the most recent European Directive.

Over the course of two days, topics such as cyberviolence – specifically, the non-consensual sharing of intimate material, cyberstalking and online hate speech – will be discussed, alongside victim protection, precautionary and police measures, and the urgent removal of content. The conference brings together researchers, magistrates, lawyers, law enforcement agencies and victim support organisations, providing a forum for reflection on the relationship between the legal framework and its practical application.
