European Law Unbound Society
Connecting scholars of European Law and law in Europe
How to Participate?
How to take part in ELU-S?
ELU-S’s goal is to build an open community of scholars interested in law in Europe, where everyone is welcome, regardless of career stage, academic interests, or perspective on European law. Every year, we organise a conference with inspiring plenary sessions and a myriad of thematic panels where participants are in charge! All it takes to join is an interesting proposal – be it a paper, panel or new format session. You can stay informed by following us on social media.
ELU-S Annual Conference
The Annual Conference is the central activity of ELU-S. It should become a welcoming and stimulating meeting place where members can present research and exchange ideas on all facets of law in Europe from a range of methodological perspectives. The Annual Conference features plenary events, parallel panels, and social events to make the world of European law more connected, inclusive, and diverse.
The next Annual Conference will take place at Luiss School of Law in Rome on September 16-18, 2026.
