Scientific research projects

We have demonstrated openness in adapting to everchanging circumstances in which research and education institutions function nowadays, as well as in embracing new competitive financing models. Today, our academic staff consists of leading experts in various subject areas, ranging from consumer protection to protection of persons with mental disorders, from online liability to state liability, from cross-border enforcement of judgments to enforcement of human rights, from financial market regulation to sports industry regulation.

Introduction into studying Italian law

Professional course titled Introduction into studying Italian law was launched at the Faculty of Law in Rijeka in 2014. Primarily intended for lawyers and law students, it is also opened to interested members of other professions. Given the fact that it is held in the Italian language, regular interest in attending this course is shown by the students of Italianistics.
 
Basic objective of this course is to offer an insight into the fundamentals of the Italian legal system and its relation to the European legal system. The organisers’ intention is to enable enhancement of attendees’ professional legal vocabulary in Italian language and present Italian law as part of the right Italian national and European heritage. Lecturers are invited eminent Italian university professors and high-profile experts.
 
This course’s importance for the wider community has been recognised by the Italian Union, which acts as its supporter since 2016.

Il corso teorico-pratico dal titolo Introduzione allo studio del diritto italiano ha preso il via presso la Facoltà di Giurisprudenza di Rijeka nel 2014. Tale corso si rivolge principalmente ai professionisti del diritto ed agli studenti di giurisprudenza, ma non solo: infatti, poiché il corso è tenuto per intero in lingua italiana, riscontra anche l'interesse degli studenti di lingue.
 
Tale corso ha come suo principale intento presentare ai frequentanti i fondamenti giuridici del sistema giuridico italiano, così come riconoscere il rapporto intercorrente tra il diritto italiano e quello europeo. Mediante tale corso si vuole dare l’opportunità di approfondire la conoscenza del linguaggio giuridico italiano, come anche di conoscere il diritto italiano, sottolineando altresì come esso costituisca parte integrante della cultura giuridica europea.
I relatori sono illustri studiosi italiani del diritto, che spesso oltre ad essere professori universitari sono anche professionisti.
 
L'importanza di questo corso è stata riconosciuta anche dall'Unione Italiana, che supporta tale iniziativa dal 2016.
