It was agreed to jointly organize a session on modern Civil Law from a comparative (Russian and Dutch) perspective with the participation of prominent Russian and Dutch lawyers, who will shed their light on this topic. This session will be part of an online international legal conference, which RPMU will be organizing next autumn (25-26 September 2020).

This initiative fits very well in the longstanding Dutch-Russian academic cooperation on civil law,  that has started in the nineties and led to many fruitful projects and contacts.
