Research activity of scientists from the Digital Justice Centre
One of the eight research excellence incubators established at the University of Wrocław as part of the Excellence Initiative – Research University is the Digital Justice Center. For its members, autumn 2022 promises to be a very busy season due to close international cooperation and numerous research stays at leading academic centres in Europe and around the world.
Professor Karolina Kremens has begun a one-year research stay (1.09.2022-31.08.2023) at the Common Law Section of the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa. The research is funded by the National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) as part of the Bekker programme to promote international mobility. In Ottawa, Prof Kremens is conducting research on the role of gender in the criminal justice process and is working closely with professor Daphne Gilbert. The most important goal of this research stay is to prepare a proposal for an ERC Consolidator grant. Prof Kremens is also collaborating with the Shirley Greenberg Chair of Women and the Legal Profession. The Greenberg Chair is currently directed by prof. Natasha Bakht and aims to strengthen teaching, research and administration in relation to feminist legal theories.
Dr Katarzyna Parchimowicz, LLM Finance, is staying as a visiting scholar at the Amsterdam Center for Law and Economics at the University of Amsterdam for the next two months (September-October), at the invitation of director prof. Alessio Pacces. Dr Parchimowicz is focusing on researching various aspects of new technologies in banking regulation and is being mentored by dr Edoardo Martino, LLM.
Also Kamil Sobanski, working with the Digital Justice Centre as a Student Research Assistant, has started his Erasmus+ adventure (13.09.2022 – 29.01.2023) at the Faculty of Law and Political Science of the University of Liège, Belgium. Kamil Sobanski is taking courses in international, regional and national law, as well as courses on data and AI. He is also working on an article and master’s thesis on the use of new technologies in proceedings before the International Criminal Court.
Also, dr Kaja Kowalczewska will spend the whole of October at the Institute of Peace Law and International Security at the University of Cologne. During her stay, dr Kowalczewska will work with prof. Claus Kress and other international law researchers. The main purpose of the stay is to prepare a grant proposal in the NCN SONATA 18 competition and to exchange experience and knowledge on, among other things, new technologies such as autonomous lethal weapon systems.
