The international conference „The Past, Present and Future of European Criminal Law – Perspectives for ‚Eurocrimes‘?“ will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Klaus Tiedemann’s project on „Eurocrimes“ and take that proposal as a starting point to discuss current challenges and future perspectives for substantive European criminal law.
After a keynore speech by Luís Arroyo Zapatero with comments by Jannemieke Ouwerkerk and Dominik Brodowski, five topical panels will address current challenges for European criminal law: fundamental challenges (such as the protection of European values and problems related to political populism), questions of the general part, transnational crimes in EU law, business criminal law, as well as interdisciplinary and external perspectives on EU criminal law. A separate panel will be dedicated to the perspectives of young scholars on the future development of this field.
The conference has received generous funding by the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung.
