The Vilnius University Faculty of Law is pleased to announce the call for abstracts for its forthcoming International Scientific Conference, titled "Sustainability, Digitalization, and Energy: In Dubio Pro Futura."
The conference will take place on November 20–21, 2025, in Vilnius, Lithuania.
About the conference
Given the importance of the digital and energy transformations currently underway in society, the conference will focus primarily on digitalisation, energy and sustainability. The conference will seek answers to the role of law in relation to the ongoing transformations and explore how it can adapt and drive change. The conference will address the acceleration of renewable energy. The answers to these questions can be varied, including theoretical and practical approaches, as well as general principles and concrete examples. The chosen vector of the conference, "in dubio pro futura", underlines the objective of prioritising the future in times of uncertainty.
