International Law Breakfast Briefings – Spring 2026
The International Law Breakfast Briefings offer a regular opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and students with an interest in international law to meet, exchange views, and share research findings on current issues in the field.
Format: The breakfast briefings take place on Thursdays from 8:45 to 9:45 am in meeting room 6B-4-04, Faculty of Law, Njalsgade 76, 2300 Copenhagen S and on Zoom. Each session features a presentation of approximately 20-25 minutes, followed by a discussion. Unless otherwise specified, both the presentation and discussion will be conducted in English. A Zoom link will be provided upon registration. Coffee and croissants will be available for all registered participants attending in person.
Researchers – including PhD students – and practitioners working in the field of international law who are interested in presenting at one of our upcoming sessions in the fall series are warmly invited to contact cornelius.wiesener@jur.ku.dk or astrid.kjeldgaard-pedersen@jur.ku.dk.
