CELS runs a series of seminars which are delivered either in-person or via online webinar during the Michaelmas and Lent terms. These seminars provide a platform for the presentation of new ideas by leading scholars from inside and outside the university. The seminars address topical issues of European Union Law and Comparative Law, with a view to using collective debate as a forum for developing and disseminating ideas, and producing high quality research publications which contribute to an understanding of major issues in the European Union. There is a close link between the CELS seminars and the Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies (CYELS). Papers generated from many of these seminars are published as articles in the CYELS.
These events are open to members of the University and to the general public (unless otherwise stated). Registration details are available below. There is no charge to attend the seminar.
Subject to speaker consent, the lecture component for seminars will be made available to watch on a YouTube playlist, or as an audio podcast on most popular podcast platforms. You can subscribe to the 'Cambridge Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) Podcast' on iTunes or other podcast platforms for automatic download to your iTunes library, or an RSS feed is available for use on other platforms.
