Seventh ESCLH Conference 2023
Seventh ESCLH Biennial Conference, 21 – 23 June 2023, University of Augsburg, Germany
The Organising Committee and the Executive Council of the European Society for Comparative Legal History are pleased to announce that the Society’s Seventh Biennial Conference will be held from 21 to 23 June 2023 at the University of Augsburg, Germany. A conference in 2023 will be a change to the Society's normal timing. The biennial conferences began in Valencia (2010), followed by Amsterdam (2012), Macerata (2014), Gdańsk (2016), Paris (2018), and most recently, after a delay caused by Covid, Lisboa (2022). However, not only does that mean the society did not have a conference for four years, Covid has also moved some other large international conferences now to even-numbered years. To avoid collision with these other conferences, the ESCHL conferences will after 2023 continue at two-year intervals moving them to uneven-numbered years. We have an exciting line of papers being presented, and all are welcome to take part in the discussion.

Accomodation
Augsburg offers a great range of hotels. There are hotels for every budget. It is each participant's own responsibility to book, and pay for, their accomodation themselves.
Transfer to Augsburg
Most participants will fly into Munich Airport. The easiest way to travel from Munich Airport to Augsburg is by train. Connections can be found on www.bahn.de. There are a number of connections to Augsburg each hour. You first have to take the S-Bahn into Munich (Pasing or Central Station) and then a train to Augsburg Central Station. You cannot buy tickets on the train: the easiest is to buy tickets over the internet, via the app of the German Bahn or at a vending machines in the airport terminal.
