On 27 November 2009, Friday, the results of the work of the Economic Impact Group (EIG) led by TILEC will be presented in a one-day conference at the Fondation Universitaire / Universitaire Stichting of Brussels. The EIG was part of CoPECL (Joint Network of Excellence on European Private Law) and funded by the EU under the 6th RTD Framework Programme. The task of the EIG was to study and assess the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR), which sets out a proposed European private law, from an economic perspective. The EIG produced a collection of papers on the main elements of the DCFR, which will be presented at the conference and will appear in an edited book. All academics, practitioners and policymakers who are interested in the Europeanization of private law are invited to attend. Presenters of the conference include Hans Schulte-Nölke (Osnabruck University), Urs Schweizer (Bonn University), Fernando Gomez (Pompeu Fabra University), Hans-Bernd Schaefer and Patrick C. Leyens (Hamburg University) and TILEC director Pierre Larouche. The closing address will be given by Alain Brun from the European Commission. Attendance to the conference is free, however, for organisational purposes attendees are kindly requested to register through the TILEC website before 16 November 2009.
