The DemoJUST Doctoral Workshops aim to promote meetings between students enrolled in doctoral programmes and/or members of CES Working Groups, during which they can present and discuss their research topics among peers in an open, safe and constructive critical environment.

Based on an aggregating theme entitled “Justice, Human Rights and Democracy: Critical Perspectives and Legal Pluralisms” - and with a theoretical and/or methodological focus close to the DemosJUST Research Group, each Workshop will have 3 doctoral students and 2 commentators as active participants, with the aim of fostering synergies with and between doctoral students, researchers and lecturers associated with CES. The workshops will last a maximum of 2 hours.
