Launch of the Global Network on Private International Law, Employment and Labour Relations

The Global Network on Private International Law, Employment and Labour Relations has just been launched by Professor Ulla Liukkunen, University of Helsinki, and Professor Guillermo Palao Moreno, University of Valencia. These scholars were aware that the status of workers and labour relations raise cross-border legal challenges of relevance to labour law and private international law. They therefore considered that there was a a global need to increase knowledge of regulatory approaches and legal practices in different countries and regions as well as internationally. Also their impact on the field of private international law is a relevant concern.

The Global  Network aims to spread knowledge and understanding of the field and its relevance, and to promote interaction among researchers. It brings together researchers from different continents and operates globally. It promotes the development of the field and provides a forum for collaboration and exchange of information between researchers of labour law and private international law.

The are also planning a first seminar on 17 and 18 October 2024.
