Centre for Advanced Sustainability Studies

The registration for the 2026 ESIL Research Forum (April 9-10, 2026) is still open at https://esil.cass.science 🌍 The Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland will host the members of the European Society of International Law, giving the floor to brilliant early-career scholars from all over the world. This year's theme is "Sustainable International Law. Reconciling Stability and Change". Our panellists will try to reconcile stability of international law with effective regulation of social, economic, and environmental changes – and you can help them succeed! The programme is alredy being finalised, but there is still a chance to join us in the capacity of a non-presenting participant. The deadline for registrations is January 31st, 2026. We will be happy to see you!

What connects street art and airports? More than you’d think- especially in the research of BASUS lecturer Piotr Trzepacz, whose work links several compelling themes.   As a geographer and sustainability researcher, Piotr Trzepacz explores the world through the lens of environmental responsibility and global mobility. His work brings a geographical perspective to the interdisciplinary course ‘Introduction to Social Issues,’ which addresses challenges such as urbanisation. He sees street art as an urban dialogue that helps balance infrastructure, culture and communities.   Get to know Piotr and other inspiring researchers- subscribe to the BASUS newsletter for recruitment updates!

All the best for the new year 2026! We promise to be here more often to keep you informed about our projects, new activities, ideas and challenges. Stay tuned!
