From 1 to 5 May 2022, Prof. Marc Bungenberg held a seminar with the title "Current Challenges of International and European Economic Law: International Dispute Settlement and the Rule of Law" on an island in the south of Germany called "Frauenchiemsee". The seminar dealt with topics closely related to the rule of law in international dispute settlment as part of the activities of the Jean-Monnet-Chair.
The 14 participants held presentations on the reform of investor-State dispute settlement and other issues currently discussed in international economic law, such as the sanctions imposed on Russia, investment arbitration and climate change and the enhancement of corporate social responsibility. After the presentations, the students discussed the seminar topics very actively with Prof. Bungenberg and his team. In addition, the students had a ride in the world's oldest steam railway, a guided tour on Fraueninsel and a visit to the famous castle by the crazy Bavarian king on the Herreninsel. Overall, it was a very successful seminar that was accompanied by excellent weather!
On 1 and 2 December 2022, a seminar with the title "Current Challenges of European and International Business Law: European Foreign Trade Law and Rule of Law" took place under the direction of Prof. Marc Bungenberg. Interested participants from Saarland University, Lausanne University and the Vienna University of Economics and Business met together on Lake Geneva to discuss, among other things, the various instruments for protecting human rights, the environment and culture in foreign trade, the European economic sanctions against Russia, dealing with competition-distorting subsidies from third countries, investment screening and the EU-UK free trade agreement. The 13 presentations were followed by lively discussions on the respective topics.
In addition to a visit to the Christmas market, a joint cheese fondue meal was on the agenda. All in all, we had a wonderful time in Lausanne with great presentations and interesting discussions in a beautiful ambience.
