Since 2002, ECTIL and its cooperation partner, the Institute for European Tort Law (ETL), have organised the Annual Conference on European Tort Law (ACET), which takes place in Vienna and provides a unique opportunity for both practitioners and academics to obtain concise information about the most significant tort law developments from across Europe in the previous year and to discuss them in detail with experts from the respective legal systems. A Special Session focuses on a particularly relevant tort-related theme every year (e.g., Duty to Prevent Harm, Liability for Emerging Digital Technologies, Climate Change and Environmental Liability, Liability for Unknown Risks). The Conference has become the place to go for academics and practitioners interested in tort law and is, on average, attended by approx. 200 participants from more than 35 jurisdictions.
More information on this year’s conference is available on the conference website.
