Watch out for an Open Seminar!

We are thrilled to invite you to an open seminar held by Alessandro Rosanò, a Senior Assistant Professor of European Union Law at the University of Parma (Italy). Join us as he explores the fascinating topic:

🌐 ‘From Farm to Fork to AI: Rethinking Food Safety in the European Union’

📍Date: Wednesday, 30th September 2026
📍Time: 11:00-12:30
📍Language: English
📍Venue: Building D, Room 2.02, Uniwersytecka 7-10 (Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics, University of Wroclaw).

ℹ️ Description of the topic: The seminar focuses on the legal implications arising from the use of artificial intelligence in the agri-food sector, with particular attention to food safety profiles. Artificial intelligence systems are increasingly perceived and described as a challenge to fundamental rights. However, in the area in question they can lead to a strengthening of consumer protection, promoting the rapid identification of risks and the traceability of food. On the other hand, the use of such technologies raises sensitive issues regarding the liability of economic operators, who may be reluctant to introduce them for fear of exposing themselves to legal consequences. Therefore, the European Union legislation on food safety and liability for defective products is taken into account in order to argue that, in light of the state of available scientific knowledge, there is an obligation for operators in the sector to implement technologies based on artificial intelligence and to share relevant information with consumers.

Alessandro Rosanò is a Senior Assistant Professor of European Union Law at the University of Parma. He obtained his PhD in Law from the University of Padova and has been a researcher at the Universities of Turin, Florence, and Valle d’Aosta. His research interests include fundamental rights, judicial cooperation in criminal matters, and the impact of digital technologies on the EU legal system.

A new article by Ewa Górska and Dr. Mark Griffiths (Newcastle University), "Geographies of Trinitrotoluene (TNT) in Military Supply Chains," has just been published in Geopolitics.

This is the result of an interdisciplinary collaboration, bridging geographical and legal research, developed under the European Research Council (ERC)-funded War & Geos research project based at Newcastle University.

The article examines TNT production in Bydgoszcz, Poland, showing how Second World War and Cold War infrastructures remain crucial to the explosive capacities of contemporary warfare. Drawing on empirical research, the authors argue that TNT production is a doubly destructive business, one that not only facilitates explosive violence in war zones around the world but also precipitates local ecological violence.

The article further explores how military supply chains complicate distinctions between "before" and "after" war, and "slow" and "fast" violence.

This is an important and timely intervention on war, environment, and law, and we're proud this research is part of DJC's work.

🌐 Digital Justice Center at the ELU-S Conference in Lisbon

Our researchers contributed to this year’s European Law Unbound Society Conference in Lisbon with research exploring the intersections of digital regulation, data protection, financial law and financial stability.

👩‍🏫 Katarzyna Parchimowicz-Ujma presented her research on the impact of social media posts on financial stability and potential content-moderation solutions. Her research explores how digital platforms and the spread of information can contribute to financial instability, and asks whether the content moderation regimes in the USA, UK and EU can provide an appropriate regulatory response.
🔊 Beyond presenting her research, Kasia also organised and chaired a panel bringing together researchers working on EU law and financial regulation. Dominika additionally moderated a panel on new dimensions of personal data.

👩‍🏫 Dominika Kuźnicka-Błaszkowska presented "GDPR and AML in the EU Financial Sector: Enforcement Practice, Regulatory Tensions and Implications for Financial Stability." The paper examines the practical interaction between data protection and anti-money laundering obligations, identifying legal uncertainty, inconsistent compliance practices and enforcement costs as sources of operational risk. It also highlights the need for risk-based GDPR interpretation and stronger institutional coordination.
🗣️ Dominika also presented paper “Double Standards in Data Protection Adequacy: A Critical Assessment of the EU-US Framework,” which critically examines the EU’s approach to international data transfers and asks whether the “essentially equivalent” standard under Article 45 GDPR is applied consistently across jurisdictions. It argues for greater uniformity, internal consistency and transparency in the EU’s adequacy framework. This project was funded by NCN National Science Centre (2021/41/N/HS5/03225).

🏗️ The research on financial stability presented by Katarzyna and Dominika is funded by NCN National Science Centre within a project "Beware financial stability – reverse engineering of legal threats in the areas of technology, climate and anti-money laundering" (2023/51/D/HS5/00077), led by Katarzyna.

📣 Open Lecture Announcement! 🌐

We are thrilled to invite you to an open lecture by Edoardo Martino, Associate Professor of Law & Finance at the University of Amsterdam (UvA), Programme Director of the Master in Law & Finance and a Research Associate at the EBI - European Banking Institute.

💸 Join us as he explores the ‘Economic analysis of law: intellectual foundations and methods’

📍 Date: Monday, 21st September 2026
📍 Time: 11:00-12:30
📍 Language: English
📍 Venue: Building D, Room 2D, Uniwersytecka 7-10 (Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics, University of Wroclaw).

📚 Description of the topic: Law and economics are neighbouring disciplines investigating social ordering. However, approaching legal institution with the tools and perspectives of economics can sharpen and expand legal scholarship, offering a rigorous method for identifying trade-offs, modelling behaviour and assessing the consequences of legal rules. This lecture explores economics as a method for legal research. It begins the distinctive questions economics brings to legal problems, before addressing one of its most persistent criticisms: that economic analysis rests on assumptions about rationality, information and preferences that rarely describe how individuals actually behave. The lecture then turns to the different economic methods available to legal scholars and to the broader methodological possibilities they create for legal research.

👨‍🏫 Edoardo D. Martino holds a PhD in Law and Economics from Erasmus School of Law and University of Hamburg (Summa cm Laude) and an LL.M. in Law & Economics from Erasmus School of Law (with distinction). He has held visiting positions in several universities, including the European University Institute, Goethe University Frankfurt, Luiss Guido Carli University and University of Oxford. He engages in interdisciplinary research in financial regulation, corporate governance and fintech.

A research article by Kamil Sobański, "Making It Right: Remote Participation of the Accused in International Criminal Court Trials," has been published in Volume 24, Issue 1 of the Journal of International Criminal Justice.

In this paper, he argues for broadening the accused's right to be present at International Criminal Court trials to include remote participation. He traces the development of remote participation by the accused in ICC proceedings, explores its merits and drawbacks, and offers a proposal for implementing such practices. These considerations contribute to the debate on virtual criminal justice and offer an international criminal justice perspective that may also prove valuable for cross-border and domestic analyses.

The article is part of a symposium on the Absent–Present Accused, featuring Mark A. Drumbl, Mischa Gureghian Hall, Kamil Sobański, and Cloé Dubuc.

Co łączy Taylor Swift z feministyczną teorią prawa? 🎤 ⚖️ Zachęcamy do obejrzenia wywiadu z Karoliną Kremens w podkaście Narodowego Centrum Nauki w serii prowadzonej przez Annę Korzekwę-Józefowicz.

W rozmowie Karolina opowiada o swoim projekcie ogłoszonego do finansowania w ramach grantu European Research Council (ERC) Advanced, gdzie wraz ze swoim zespołem będzie badała, jak era cyfrowa daje szansę na przebudowę procesu karnego stosując metody interseksjonalnego ujęcia feministycznej teorii prawa.

Karolina niezmiennie podkreśla potrzebę zwiększenia finansowania dla NCN, stwierdzając, że granty NCN “(…) to jest warunek sine qua non otrzymania grantu ERC, żeby móc pochwalić się uzyskaniem i przeprowadzeniem badań w oparciu o jakiś grant zewnętrzny”.

🌐⚖ How does remote participation interact with fairness at the International Criminal Court? ➡ In a new paper, Kamil Sobański and Cloé Dubuc (University of Sydney Law School) examine how participation in ICC proceedings is evolving, with a particular focus on judicial approaches to the remote participation of witnesses and accused persons.

They analyze how the ICC has addressed remote participation by both witnesses and the accused. By examining ICC decisions authorizing remote participation and drawing on current doctrinal research on virtual justice, they show that judicial practice remains fragmented. ICC judges tend to permit remote testimony by witnesses more readily than remote participation by the accused, often relying on inconsistent understandings of presence. The authors argue that a clearer and more coherent framework is needed—one that places the accused’s fair trial rights at its core.

🌐 The paper is available in open access: https://opo.iisj.net/index.php/osls/article/view/2683/2908 🌐

This paper will form part of a special issue of Oñati Socio-Legal Series, based on the workshop of the Expert Research Group, “Best Practices for Remote Participation in Criminal Proceedings”, organized at the Oñati International Institute for the Sociology of Law. The workshop was coordinated by Carolyn McKay (University of Sydney), Dorris de Vocht (Tilburg University), Lisa Flower (Lund University), Christina Peristeridou (Maastricht University), and Karolina Kremens (University of Wrocław).

This paper is, in part, a preliminary outcome of Kamil Sobański’s PhD project on virtual justice before the ICC, funded by the National Science Centre (Poland) (2022/47/O/HS5/01229): https://digitaljustice.uwr.edu.pl/en/projects/virtual-justice-remote-proceedings-before-the-international-criminal-court-threat-or-opportunity-2023-2027/. He conducts this research at the Digital Justice Center, University of Wrocław. His work is also supported by the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP).
