As part of the CAS-visit to Vienna we invite to the following seminar in cooperation with the University of Vienna.

The Scandinavian Workshop on e-Government is a forum for discussing current e-government research issues. The workshop is dedicated to open discussions about the current status of e-government research and future directions. The focus is thus on informal discussion rather than on formal conference presentations.

A draft declaration on the right of peoples to peace has been prepared by an UN Human Rights Council appointed Advisory Board.

The seminar will address this draft declaration which focuses on standards relating to international peace and security as core standards (elements of negative peace, absence of violence), and includes standards in the areas of peace education, development, the environment, and victims and vulnerable groups as elements of a positive peace.

Visiting scholar Dr. Livia Navone’s research focuses on the political economy of property law and on the impact of institutional changes on the development of property law, with special attention to the role of collective property rights for society.

The seminar is day 2 of the phd-seminar that will cover the topic "New institutions and changing boundaries between national and international law and between public and private law". Professor Gunther Teubner from Goethe University will present his latest book.
