A link to the event with an agenda has been placed on the Institute’s website to enable the participation of as many people as possible.

Traditionally, the event was inaugurated by the Director of the Institute – dr hab. M. Wielec, who welcomed both active and passive participants of this conference and wished them fruitful deliberations and discussions.

Papers delivered by individual members of the research teams were, inter alia, presentation of the results of preliminary research on selected aspects related to the role of constitutional identity and European integration for changes in national constitutions, the rule of law – critical points, initiating proceedings and legal measures, and the use of sociology in examining the effectiveness of initiating and conducting court cases.
