For the eighth time the Centre for Risk and Insurance Studies of the K.U.Leuven (CRIS) and the Centre de recherché en droit privé of the l’UCLouvain (CPRI) organise a conference on International European Insurance Law.

Ever since the advent of the European Insurance Directives, the quest has been for a system of private insurance contract law that is adapted to the size and structure of the integrated market.

The colloquium examines the policy practice of international B2B relationships and analyses the EU Regulations and Directives on conflicts of law and of jurisdiction. The merits of harmonisation efforts and the technique of an Optional Instrument will be subject of discussion.

Parking: Parking Loi, Wetstraat 19, 1000 Brussels.
Metro: Kunst-Wet/Arts-Loi.
Train: 10 minutes walking from the Brussels-Central Station.

Simultaneous translation: Dutch, French and English.
