The conference will take place on 9\u201310 October 2026 at the Chambre de Commerce, Luxembourg, and is organised with the generous support of the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR). The LCEL is pleased to invite early-career researchers to submit papers for presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>European Union law has become the most significant driver of legal change across the Member States, shaping virtually all areas of public and private regulation. In recent years, its scope and intensity have expanded markedly as the Union has been called upon to respond to successive crises and emerging challenges, including financial instability, migration, threats to the rule of law, technological transformation, climate change, and geopolitical insecurity. The conference addresses two interrelated questions: first, whether EU law adequately covers the areas in which collective European action is necessary; and secondly, whether existing EU legal frameworks achieve their stated objectives and how they might be improved. The conference will also address more theoretical questions on the concept of effectiveness of law, how it can be defined and how it can be measured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference brings together leading scholars, senior judges of the Court of Justice and the General Court of the European Union, Advocates General, representatives of EU institutions, policymakers, and practitioners. Each thematic session will include a presentation by a selected early-career researcher, contributing an original scholarly perspective alongside the session&#8217;s established speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"panels-open-to-young-researchers\"\n    >\nPanels Open to Young Researchers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Papers are invited in connection with the following thematic panels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\"><strong>Values, the Charter, and Citizenship<\/strong> (Friday, 9 October, 15:00\u201315:45)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\"><strong>Law and Technology<\/strong> (Friday, 9 October, 16:15\u201317:15)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\"><strong>Financial Law<\/strong> (Saturday, 10 October, 9:30\u201310:00)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\"><strong>Labour Law<\/strong> (Saturday, 10 October, 10:00\u201310:30)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\"><strong>Environmental Law<\/strong> (Saturday, 10 October, 10:50\u201311:20)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\"><strong>Defence and Strategic Autonomy<\/strong> (Saturday, 10 October, 11:20\u201311:50)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\"><strong>The EU and International Law<\/strong> (Saturday, 10 October, 11:50\u201312:30)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Papers need not be confined to the specific topics addressed by the main speakers.
