The Human Rights Act, which incorporated the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into British law from October 2000, is about to celebrate its twentieth anniversary in a very peculiar context. Although the Act has been denounced by the Conservative Party from the moment it came into force, it seems to have been given an unexpected reprieve: indeed, since the summer of 2016, the Conservative project of repealing the act and replacing it with a British Bill of Rights has been eclipsed by the more pressing issue of Brexit.

The workshop Sustainable Europe and its global reach intends to contribute to the academic and policy debate by discussing the aspects of "Sustainable Europe" in its external dimension in an interdisciplinary setting. It aims to include speakers from law, political science and social science. We expressly encourage junior (PhD or PostDoc level) and senior researchers to apply.

The event takes place in the framework of the UACES Collaborative Research Network on EU-China Relations organised by ESSCA School of Management & College of Europe. The event is generously supported by Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, Regional Project Energy Security & Climate Change Asia-Pacific (RECAP), based in Hong Kong SAR China.
