2. Call for Papers: Strasbourg Observers 15th Anniversary Symposium. Founded in April 2010, the Strasbourg Observers Blog is soon celebrating its 15th Anniversary. At this occasion, they are organizing a symposium in Ghent (Belgium) for which they invite abstracts (and panel proposals) that analyse and reflect on important developments in the ECtHR case law and/or scholarship over these past 15 years. They are particularly interested in abstracts that focus on the Court’s ways of reasoning across various thematic areas as well as in abstracts that take a step outside of the Court’s case law and delve into questions about how it operates as an institution. They also welcome abstracts discussing novel approaches and methods (both quantitative and qualitative) in ECtHR scholarship. Abstracts of around 300 words should be sent to strasbourgobservers {at} gmail(.)com by 2 December 2024 with the indivudal’s name, affiliation and a short bio. Submissions for a collection of abstracts as a complete panel proposal should indicate the panel convenor and panel title on top of the information requested for individual abstract submission.
