The academic part of the conference, entitled “Law, Society, Democracy”, was concerned with the present challenges to democracy in the form of populism and digitalisation. Prof. Dr. Lars Viellechner represented the Faculty of Law of the University of Bremen at the conference with a lecture on “The Notion of the Public in Digital Society”. The operative part of the conference was concerned with intensified cooperation in the fields of research and education. The Faculty of Law has already established the English language field of specialisation “Transnational Law” to enable reciprocal recognition of academic achievements.
