| Popis | The Meeting of PhD Students of Legal History and Roman Law was established in 2013 by Jaromír Tauchen and Karel Schelle at the Department of the History of the State and Law, Masaryk University in Brno (Czechia). Initially conceived as a platform for Czech legal historians, the conference expanded in 2014 to encompass Czech-Slovak cooperation, recognising the intertwined academic heritage of both nations. By 2022, it had evolved into a genuinely European gathering, bringing together participants from various countries to discuss local and global legal issues. This remarkable progression underscores the foresight of its founders and the international academic community’s acknowledgement of the event’s importance. The recently added inaugural international conference edition to the esteemed Web of Science database confirms its ability to generate valuable scholarly contributions. This distinction not only attests to the academic rigour of the event but also highlights its role in fostering innovative and impactful research. Such recognition reinforces the need to sustain this tradition, positioning the conference as an essential forum for scholarly discourse and a driving force for academic advancement. More than just a series of presentations, the conference provides a vital space for emerging scholars to engage in meaningful networking—a fundamental component of modern academic success. Bringing together PhD candidates from diverse national backgrounds facilitates the formation of personal and professional connections that frequently evolve into long-lasting collaborations. This emphasis on creating a supportive academic community is one of the core strengths of the event, enabling participants to forge relationships that extend well beyond the confines of the conference. The meeting offers a platform for intellectual exchange and collaborative research each year. The agenda consistently reflects the broadening horizons of its participants, and this year, it incorporates discussions that transcend local legal history to address pressing global challenges. This diversity of perspectives, combined with the opportunity to explore different research methodologies from various legal traditions, significantly enriches the study of legal history and enhances scholarly approaches to the field. The International Meeting of PhD Students of Legal History and Roman Law is not just about the topics addressed but also about its enduring tradition of uniting the next generation of legal historians and Romanists. The connections and professional networks that take root here continue to shape the future of legal scholarship across Europe and beyond. The lasting impact of these relationships inspires and motivates continued participation. As we present the second volume of these proceedings, we are reminded of the importance of preserving and building upon the strong foundation established by the many scholars who have contributed to this initiative. The International Meeting of PhD Students of Legal History and Roman Law has solidified its place as a pivotal platform for academic networking, and we are confident that it will continue to flourish as a key annual event for emerging legal scholars across Europe and the wider academic world. |
