About the Young Scholars Workshop
The Young Scholars Workshop was held on 2 May 2019 at UNSW Law. In alignment with the theme, the workshop discussed issues relevant to technological change and international business law and economic law.
The Young Scholars Workshop gave everyone an opportunity to present their paper to peers and get extensive feedback from senior experts on their graduate research in general, and their chosen methodologies. The workshop also included research skills and networking sessions, a roundtable discussion on topical CIBEL issues and an information session on publishing advice. It was a good opportunity for PhD candidates and Young Scholars to demonstrate their work with peers from all around the globe and get practical skills for further research and study.
