2022 has been a great year so far in terms of planning fun (and educational) events with friends. The momentum continues with our GLaw-Net & ICGI collaboration event on “Can the Law Save the World: A Discussion”!!
The idea behind the event is to get a group of academics to informally discuss issues ranging from the situation in Ukraine, climate change, social media platforms contributing to teen suicides, how MNCs are falling short of their human rights and sustainability commitments, and what the law is (or is not doing) to help in a relatively informal manner.
We also want this event to serve as a bridge, where we link the academics with non-academics in Maastricht (e.g. UWC students and staff, refugees, seniors in Maastricht, and other groups that do not regularly mingle with the Uni bubble). We want the academics to be able to interact with non-academics in an understandable - and dare I say non-pretentious - manner and for non-academics to ask, poke, and prod the academics to look at things from a non-academic perspective.
Register for the event here!!
