Seels

The faculty is one of the founders of the South East European Law School Network (SEELS), which primarily serves as a platform for multilateral project cooperation with related institutions from Croatia and the wider region.

SEELS was founded in 2011 with the support of GIZ (Deutsche Gesellshaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit, Open Regional Fund for South East Europe - Legal Reform) and currently comprises 12 law schools (Osijek, Split, Rijeka, Zagreb, Belgrade, Niš, Mostar , Sarajevo, Zenica, Skopje, Štip, Tirana).

Under the umbrella of SEELS, numerous international academic conferences, summer schools and student and teacher exchanges are organised. SEELS also cooperates with numerous European academic institutions and associations (e.g. Europa-Institut of Saarland University, Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Human Rights, Max Planck Institute, University of Graz, European Law Faculty Association, European Law Institute).
