We are thrilled to announce that BruCeL will be hosting the 2026 European Labour Law Young Scholars Meeting this autumn at the VUB! This year, the conference will focus on the theme of "Reframing Social Security and Labour Law Through Fundamental Rights in a Deregulatory Context".
At a time when deregulation features prominently on policy agendas, its impact on fundamental rights is becoming increasingly significant. This shift poses serious challenges for vulnerable groups whose protection has traditionally been anchored in labour and social security law frameworks. The event will provide a vital space to reflect on these developments and explore how contemporary regulatory approaches can successfully balance the need for flexibility with adequate protection.
The meeting will take place on Thursday 12 and Friday 13 November 2026 at the LIC Learning & Innovation Center (Pleinlaan 2, 1050 Brussels).
If you have any questions, please contact ELLYS2026@vub.be.
More details regarding registration and the call for abstracts will be shared very soon. For now, mark your calendars, as we can’t wait to welcome the next generation of legal scholars to Brussels!
