Monthly Seminar on Agency

The ERC-funded project on Agency in Law (LEGACY) invites you to attend our Monthly Seminar.

This seminar provides a platform for academics and students from legal and related fields to explore the concept of agency, with a particular focus on legal agency. The seminar serves two key purposes: fostering discussions on research related to agency and providing a space for LEGACY researchers to share updates on their ongoing work as the project progresses. Presentations are typically delivered in English.

When and Where?

The seminar takes place monthly, typically on a Wednesday, from 3:15 pm to 4:45 pm (EET/EEST).
Participants are welcome to attend in person at the University of Helsinki or virtually via Zoom.
