This was a really good event! The workshops were interesting and the speakers informative. A good chance to exchange ideas and get involved in discussions on different areas of law. It was a nice friendly atmosphere and the idea of bringing together PhD students from different institutions is one which ELSA wholeheartedly supports. Congratulations to Georgina and Kadir for organising this. Hopefully this PhD conference will become an annual event and go from strength to strength.
