INTEREST GROUPS

Interest Groups are intended to encourage longer-term cooperation among scholars from different regions around specific themes beyond the annual conference.

Interest Groups may thus seek to launch joint research and/or publication projects, plan group events (in-person or online) throughout the year and launch other initiatives. Interest Groups are open to all ICON•S members working on the respective themes.

THE INTEREST GROUPS ARE:

The African Interest Group

AS WELL AS INTEREST GROUPS ON:

Academic Freedom

Art, Heritage, Law, and Economics

Climate Change and Migration

Concept Integration in Comparative Law

Constitution Making

Critical Public (International) Law

Digital Constitutionalism

Emerging Rights

Feminist Constitutionalism

Global Data Law

Informal Judicial Institutions

Lawfare, Human Rights and Economic Democracy in Latin America

Neurolaw, Neurotechnology and Human Rights

The Right to Health in Turbulent Times

The Separation of Powers

WE ARE ALSO ALWAYS HAPPY TO CONSIDER APPLICATIONS FOR THE FORMATION OF NEW INTEREST GROUPS.

If you would like to found a new Interest Group, please contact Elisabeth Perham, Director of Interest Groups, at icons.interestgroups@gmail.com.

Each Interest Group must have more than one convenor, and its convenors must come from more than one institution. What a proposal should include is set out in the FAQs.
