Conference ELU-S 2026

The Católica Research Centre for the Future of Law, the School of Lisbon - Faculty of Law and the Católica Global School of Law are hosting the 2nd edition of the annual conference of ELU-S – European Law Unbound Society, which will take place from 1 to 3 September 2026 at UCP’s Lisbon campus.

Under the theme “Words or Deeds? The European Moment”, the conference aims to foster debate on the “European moment” in a period of profound transformations, marked simultaneously by opportunities and vulnerabilities, in which the gap between institutional rhetoric and concrete action has become increasingly challenging. 

The conference will feature a keynote speech by Prof. Isabel Feichtner and plenary events on Solidarity and Sovereignty. The main part of the conference comprises parallel panel sessions, which are composed of submissions in response to the call for panels and papers.
