1st International Transport and Insurance Law Conference – INTRANSLAW Zagreb 2015,
to be held in the Congress Centre Forum in Zagreb, from 15th to 16th October 2015.INTRANSLAW Zagreb 2015 seeks to create a new space for professional and academic discussion on the modern directions of development and implementation of the acquis communautaire in the field of road, rail, air, marine and inland water transportation, as well as of marine and transport insurance, freight forwarding, logistics and transport agency. By connecting the worlds of practice, industry, academic research, legal counselling, legislation and judiciary, INTRANSLAW Zagreb 2015 offers an opportunity for professionals and academics in the field of transport and insurance to communicate with one another and have a critical look at the current state of affairs in the said fields.
INTRANSLAW Zagreb 2015 invites all interested participants who, in their field of profession and interest, deal with issues of transport law and insurance.
It is possible to participate with a
- professional presentation,
- an academic paper, or
- as a listener
Sufficient time will be reserved in the conference schedule for discussions on relevant topics, which will be open to all participants.
The conference programme will be organised in parallel sessions in several conference rooms over two days, facilitating discussion on a number of topical issues.
The theme of the INTRANSLAW Zagreb 2015 is EU Transport Law, encompassing three large thematic units:
- EU Transport Strategy and the Role of EU Transport Law
- Legal Challenges of the EU Transport Market in a Time of Economic Crisis
- Safe, Secure and Green Transport
A non-exhaustive list of the topics which the submitted academic papers and professional presentations may deal with can be found here.
Leading professionals in the field will open the discussion in a plenary session as key note speakers.
Several sessions and panels will follow in parallel, dealing with various subjects falling under the main thematic units. The work of each session will commence with presentations of 1-2 invited speakers, leading experts in the field, followed by 4-5 other presenters whose professional presentations or academic papers will have been approved by the Academic Committee in the application process.
A special opportunity for the industry will be provided in the brokerage session, in which attendees will be able to briefly present their commercial and/or academic projects in search of potential partners in any sector or branch of transport.
The Conference will also feature an INFO-LAB – a workshop equipped with PCs where an information expert will train participants in the techniques of searching internet databases and sources of EU transport law with accompanying documentation for the purpose of quickly retrieving relevant legal instruments.
Finally, a special conference session will be reserved for young researchers in the field of transport law and the law of transport insurance, in which they will be given an opportunity to present the results of their research, and we are especially looking forward to their contributions.
We expect the presenters to associate their contributions with the implementation of law in practice and that their presentations be based on the existing legal framework.
If you deal with the implementation, analysis or development of legislation in the field of transport and transport insurance, and you have fresh knowledge and experience you wish to share with the professional public, we invite you to apply:
- with your professional presentation – submission of a title and abstract (max. 1000 words) by 1st July 2015, or
