1st International Conference of the Jean Monnet Module on EU Insurance Law: Challenges in the SDG Era
13 and 14 July 2023 | NOVA School of Law
The main objective of this annual conference is to create a forum where scholars, practitioners, non-governmental organizations, cooperative and social sector, and state agencies with an interest in insurance will meet and discuss topics that are of interest to all, with a focus on public policy recommendations on the role of insurance in fostering sustainable development goals.
We aim to contribute to the generation of knowledge and raise awareness as to the role of insurance for the equal enjoyment of human rights and the achievement of SDGs, in line with the core values of the European Union.
In 2023, this annual conference will be devoted to SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being.
