Join us for four days with leading international scholars and students discussing Health and the Law and the Rights of the Child.
The Bergen Exchanges on Law & Social Transformation is a week of public seminars, project workshops and social events – and a PhD course on Effects of Lawfare. We invite academics, students and practitioners from all over the world to discuss different aspects of the potential of law as an instrument for social change.
