Events of Interest
The Institute sponsors a series of events throughout the year, each designed to facilitate new thinking in the fields of development, international and comparative law. Our friends and research partner institutions also routinely develop and host similar events to help bring together students, policy experts, and intellectual leaders in the field to share research and advance ideas. We support these events and attend as many as we can throughout the year, and we invite you to do the same.
If you have additional events you’d like to share with the IGLP Network, please send them to noconnor@law.harvard.edu.
