The Nordic Maritime Law Gathering is an annual event that brings together industry experts, researchers, and students who are interested in ocean-related law. The Department of Law at the School of Business, Economics, and Law of Gothenburg University organizes the gathering, and this year, it will take place on March 13th and 14th.
With this event, we also have the ambition to provide master’s students the opportunity to discuss ideas for their master’s thesis in smaller groups and with participating researchers as well as industry experts.
