Young Scholars Workshop on the first day of the EAHL Conference in
Warsaw
18 September 2024

Call for Abstracts and program

Young scholars are often eager to present their findings to the wider scientific community. However, they inevitably encounter open questions and challenges for
further exploration within their research domains and fields. Therefore, the Young Scholars Workshop (formerly known as the Ph.D. workshop) is hosted by EAHL in
cooperation with the local organizing committee of the conference. This is the opportunity for young researchers to not only present their work but also engage in
discussions that enrich their understanding and further develop their own research. This workshop is an excellent opportunity to meet peers from different jurisdictions,
exchange knowledge, constructive feedback as well as experiences and interact with the EAHL network.

Ph.D. students, recent graduates and postdoctoral fellows are invited to submit abstract of their research and present their current work during the workshop. To match the
overall theme of the 9 th Conference of the European Association of Health Law, participants are encouraged to focus on the fundamental and human rights aspects of
their research.
If research does not consider human rights arguments, we invite you to present alternatively the theoretical and/ or methodological frameworks applied in your research.

Abstracts serve as an introduction to your research topic, presenting the research theme, key research question, and the specific research problem addressed, along with
potential answers or solutions proposed in your work.

All abstracts, limited to max. 2 pages (in MS Office Word file – Times New Roman, font – 14, line spacing – 1.5) should be submitted by April 30 th , 2024.
The announcement of the accepted abstracts is scheduled May 31th, 2024.

Proposed structure of the abstracts:

The abstracts may include following aspects:

  • Offer a concise overview of the research topic, including its objectives and research questions, focusing on European health-law related or bioethical issues.
  • Highlight the novelty of the research and present any obtained results, if available.
  • Discuss the consideration of fundamental rights arguments within the research and explain how these fundamental rights arguments may inform the research.
  • If fundamental rights arguments are not applicable, provide alternatively a theoretical or methodological framework, being applied or planned to be applied.
  • Conclude by summarizing the main findings and implications, as well as open questions of the research.

Draft program of the workshop
