Course Information:
The scope of the Course is to provide to the participants the analysis of the latest international and national regulations in the field of maritime and transport law, with prominent lecturers from various Croatian academic institutions (Adriatic Institute of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts – Zagreb, University of Zagreb, University of Rijeka and University of Zadar) as well as from a number of higher education institutions from abroad (Åbo Akademi University – Turku, Erasmus University – Rotterdam, University Carlos III – Madrid, University of Ljubljana, University of Oslo, University of Pescara, Nicolaus Copernicus University – Torun, Kyushu University – Fukuoka, City University – London, University College – London, Swansea University – Wales, International Maritime Law Institute – Malta and World Maritime University – Malmö). The Course will enable young researchers from this area to gain new knowledge and to compare the legal regulations of different countries through classes of outstanding university professors and renowned maritime law experts, and also to participate in panel discussions in order to analyse potential solutions of the emerging international legal instruments and of proposed amendments of the relevant maritime conventions. Besides lectures, seminars and workshops, the Course structure requires an effective contribution of participants who will have an opportunity to represent and describe their own research projects related to their LLM or PhD studies before a circle of academic senior researchers and experienced professionals. The working language is English.
The Course attendance certificates signed by the Course directors will be issued by the Inter-University Centre to all participants. This year’s Course will not offer ECTS credits. The procedure of ECTS accreditation will be initiated, and should be completed during the next academic year.
The expected number of participants is 20, whereas the total number of participants is limited to 50. The participants will have to pay a modest registration fee of 55 EUR directly to the Inter-University Centre. Additional fee of 100 EUR that will cover the cost of lunches and coffee breaks for five days at the Atrium, the participants will have to pay to the IUC Dormitory upon their arrival to Dubrovnik. For covering travel and accommodation expenses, interested participants are strongly advised to contact their home institutions as well as other foundations that finance participation in educational programmes. Course directors can provide participants with formal invitation letters if needed. Concerned participants may apply until 31 August 2024 using the online application form at the IUC website (https://iuc.hr/programme/1912/apply). Please contact the Course coordinator Dr Igor Vio (igor.vio@pfri.uniri.hr) for any additional questions.
The Course is dedicated to participants enrolled in advanced degrees of legal studies (graduate and postgraduate students, as well as doctoral candidates and researchers, who will discuss their ongoing research), junior practitioners and law officials from international organizations, state administration, courts of law and public attorney offices, and to young professionals from shipping, transport, insurance and related industries.
Possible research output as contribution from the IMTL Course will be published in the Inter-University Centre Working Paper Series.
