Shadows of Strife: The role of Environmental Law in Safeguarding People and the Environment in Times of Conflict

The X Tarragona International Environmental Law Colloquium (TIEC) jointly organized by the Tarragona Centre for Environmental Law Studies (CEDAT-URV) and the Tarragona Environmental Law Students Association (AAEDAT) will be held on 29 and 30 May 2025. This hybrid event is organized as an activity carried out by the Faculty of Legal Sciences (Department of Public Law) of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona, Spain). Please, find more information on past editions here.

It is with great joy and immense honor that we celebrate the tenth edition of the Tarragona International Environmental Law Colloquium. Over the past decade, this event has become a cornerstone for fostering meaningful dialogue, advancing innovative research, and strengthening international collaboration in the field of environmental law. This milestone reflects not only the dedication of the TIEC Organizer Comittee, keynotes and attendees but also the growing global commitment to addressing pressing environmental challenges through legal frameworks.

The CEDAT has progressively established itself as a reference point for Environmental Law in Spain and Europe. Its primary objectives are to generate and disseminate knowledge in the field of Environmental Law.

AAEDAT is an association founded in 2009 by students and alumni of the LL.M. program in Environmental Law at Rovira i Virgili University. It promotes activities within the university community to advance environmental and social values, as well as to foster spaces for debate, reflection, and exchange with other universities and research groups

The X TIEC aims to provide a forum for junior and early-career researchers with different backgrounds in which to present and discuss their research and works-in-progress. In addition, this event seeks to create a friendly environment for meeting fellow students and colleagues that share a common interest for environmental law.

The X TIEC will be a hybrid event. Nevertheless, we encourage in-person participation to allow a better discussion and networking.

We welcome Aurora members to participate in the Call for Abstracts and to join this event in person. Check with your home institution for any mobility funding opportunities available.

This colloquium is carried out with the support of the Department of Research and Universities of the Government of Catalonia (AGAUR).
