The first two days of the conference (June 19th and June 20th) will concentrate the academic panels and the last two days (June 21st and June 22nd) will focus on the practitioners’ activities. The conference will take place in the ISS building in The Hague.The conference will be bilingual (English and Spanish) with sessions organized in either language.Conference fees’ waivers and travel subsidies are available but in great demand.
