Doctoral students from McGill Law's Research Group on Health Law participated in this year's "Séminaire doctoral international en droit de la santé" in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.

This event was hosted by the Université de Neuchâtel and co-organized with McGill University, Université de Montréal, Université Paris Cité, Université catholique de Louvain, and the University of Ottawa. The seminar lasted two and a half days and provided an opportunity for scholars to connect and discuss matters of health law with PhD students and professors from France, Belgium, Canada, and Switzerland. A wide range of topics was covered, from the regulation of AI and obstetrical and gynecological violence to climate change-related disputes.

Both McGill doctoral students had the opportunity to present their research projects: Dimitri Patrinos presented his project on compensation for prenatal harms, and Marie Dry presented her project on the reproductive rights of trans parents. Additionally, students participated in workshops organized by their peers to exchange ideas and best practices on methodology, and critical and interdisciplinary approaches to legal research.
