Seminar Winter Semester 2024/25

Seminar Lausanne December 2024

On December 9 and 10, 2024, our "Winter Seminar" took place under the direction of Prof. Dr. Marc Bungenberg at the "Institut Suisse de droit comparé (ISDC)" of the Université de Lausanne. The lectures focused on current topics in the fields of raw materials law and sports law.

Among other things, the seminar explored the significance of international raw materials agreements and national raw materials partnerships, as well as the role of sustainable development and transparency in the raw materials sector. Discussions also covered the palm oil dispute between the EU and Indonesia/Malaysia, a closer examination of the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), and specific subsidies for the green transformation in the energy sector.

In the field of sports law, the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was critically analyzed. Additionally, the seminar addressed the European Court of Justice's "Super League" ruling and advertising restrictions in sports stadiums.

The seminar was rounded off with a visit to the Olympic Museum and a traditional cheese fondue dinner. We would like to thank all participants for a successful seminar and engaging discussions.
