RIPIL Showcase Panel Event, 6 December 2023

This inaugural RIPIL panel event showcased some of the outstanding research being undertaken within the group. Six presentations across two panels covered a wide range of international law topics, such as the forcible transfer of children from Ukraine, artificial intelligence, and ecocide (amongst others). Presenters were a mixture of colleagues from the College of Business and Law (CBL) and the College of Health, Science and Society (CHSS), and included both Professors, mid-career colleagues and early career researchers/PhDs, reflecting the diversity of the group.
