On behalf of the Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Warsaw and the Center for Dispute and Conflict Resolution we would like to cordially invite you to submit topics for presentations and abstracts for papers for an academic Conference on:
Mediation in Civil Disputes – Twenty years after and beyond
The Conference will be held at the University of Warsaw Library on March 27 and 28, 2025.
The Conference is organized to commemorate the adoption of mediation in civil disputes in the civil procedure code in Poland in 2005. Although the main focus of the Conference will be civil mediation this does not preclude submission of topics of a general nature concerning mediation in the field of law and other disciplines.
We welcome the submission of topics by Polish and foreign scholars concerning mediation in Poland and in other countries and/or in a comparative contexts.
The purpose of the Conference is an academic discussion on research, issues and challenges in mediation, as well as to promote academic cooperation between scholars from different institutions and prepare a post conference publication. Thus we encourage the submission of joint abstracts, presentations and/or submission of joint articles.
We would like to ask you to share this call for papers with other academics that you think may be interested in participating.
The registration for those who plan to present during the Conference starts on August 28. You may attach the abstracts when you register (link below) or you may register and send an abstract later, by October 30, 2024.
The Conference will be organized in the form of an opening plenary panel, followed by discussions in smaller groups. The Conference will be held in Polish and English. Due to the nature of the Conference the Conference will be held on-site, although we do not rule out the possibility of online connection, e.g. in the case of presentations by foreign guests.
The post Conference papers will be published in English, in the open access, high-scoring journal of the Faculty of Law and Administration, Studia Iuridica Varsoviensis (100 points) after two blind reviews and an acceptance by the publisher. The Conference fee is 70 ZLP payable by February 28, 2025
