The Faculty of Law of the Lusófona University has the honor to host the 26rd Annual Meeting of NANTERRE NETWORK. It will take place in June/July 2020 in Lisbon and Porto/Portugal.
The Lusófona University is the largest Portuguese private university. Its main institutional vocation is centered on the integration of knowledge among Portuguese-speaking countries. For us, it is a privilege to host the distinguished event in Lisbon and Porto.
The organization of our program follows the parameters of the previous meetings, which means there will be a colloquium and a country-by-country presentation by our new colleagues who joint the Network recently.
With the above in mind, the organisers have planned the conference as an international event, allowing presentations in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
The subject matter of the conference is extremely topical, and the publication containing the papers will undoubtedly have a pioneering character, being a signpost for further developments of both and European doctrine, and most likely also legislation. According to the assumptions of the organisers, the monograph resulting from the conference will be published by a Portuguese legal publishing house.

- Multiculturalism and Non-Discrimination
