Navigating the future of law together

Save the date! The first conference of the network of applied sciences professors and their partners on People-centred law and practice: “Navigating the future of law together”.

Can the government realise the promise of the rule of law for citizens? How can (HBO) lawyers and other professionals become more people-centred and solution-oriented to advance social cohesion and transitions to sustainability? What are the most important developments within the people-centred justice movement in the Netherlands and internationally that should guide future (HBO) lawyers, other professionals and educators?  

The research group Multilevel Regulation, the network of lectors from different applied sciences universities together with partners from the professional field and educational programs (called the platform on “People-centred Law and Practice”) organizes its first conference to address those questions under the theme “Navigating the future of law together.”

The conference will take place at The Hague University of Applied Sciences, on March 7, 2025 between 9.00 and 14.00. The conference will feature professionals, educators, students, and other participants interested in the people-centred justice movement. 

Join us!

If you are a student, professional, or educator interested in joining our network and the conference, please register here. 

Important: this conference is not only for legal professionals. The questions on people-centred law and practice are complex and concern different fields of professional practice and educational fields, so everyone is welcome. We particularly invite professionals and educators working on the following topics: the rule of law, democratic participation, transformative governance, circular economy, sustainability, digital transformations and education (and others). 

What we want to achieve?

During the conference, we will map and discuss the current practical developments in people-centred justice, law, and the accompanying fields. After the conference, we will write a report that will serve as a basis for our network's strategic practice-oriented research agenda. Next year, we will organise two more conferences to co-create this agenda further.
