The DFG Office India, together with the Indian Council of Social Science Research is supporting the first International Law Conclave in Hyderabad. Organized by Heidelberg University and NALSAR University, this activity will bring together researchers from India and Germany for a postdoctoral symposium and a senior researchers conference (Law Professors Meet).

The conclave will have two parts: A postdoctoral symposium and a senior researchers conference (Law Professors Meet).

At the postdoctoral symposium, postdoctoral researchers as well as junior professors from Germany and Indian assistant professors will discuss contemporary topics of International Law and Comparative Law. The event will last two days, October 15-16. Participating researchers will be divided into tandems working on the same issue from the perspective of their jurisdiction. The tandems will be encouraged to exchange their ideas in the months leading to the conference so the presentations will be cohesive even though they provide different perspectives on their shared subject.

The Law Professors Meet will be held October 16-17. The concept behind this event is an exchange of research and perspectives between already established researchers (associate and full professors) from India and Germany. The connection between the postdoctoral symposium and the Professors Meet has the advantage of providing an opportunity for intergenerational exchange between established and junior researchers.
