On 8 January 2026, the Käte Hamburger Kolleg ‘Legal Unity and Pluralism’ at the University of Münster hosted a panel discussion on whether human rights in Europe are reaching their limits in light of current developments in migration policy. The event was hosted by Prof. Dr. Nora Markard, co-director of the Kolleg.
Two new volumes have been published in the open access series of EViR Working Papers. One is a volume of contributions to the conceptual forum ‘Justiznutzung’ (Use of Justice), edited by Benjamin Seebröker, and the other is the final report on the first funding phase of the Käte Hamburger Kolleg, edited by Ulrike Ludwig and Peter Oestmann.
