Events in Human Rights

The Human Rights Consortium is committed to organising and supporting academic, policy and practice-oriented events on human rights. Collaborations with other institutions are particularly welcome. The Consortium also aims to disseminate the work arising from events to a broader audience.

Funding or other support for human rights research and policy-related events may be sought from the Human Rights Consortium from individuals or institutions wishing to organise an event on a topic relating to human rights (broadly defined).

The majority of Human Rights Consortium events are free and open to all.
