Public International Law Research Seminars

The Public International Law Research Seminars are at the heart of PIL@Oxford research.

These seminars are open to Oxford research (MPhil and DPhil) students and Faculty members working in international law, as well as to visiting scholars. The seminars offer an opportunity for members of the Oxford PIL research community to present their work - at various stages - to fellow students and academics in a friendly and informal atmosphere. If students have a PIL component in their research, but are not currently on the Research Seminar mailing list, please contact the PIL Research Assistant (details below) .

The PIL Research Seminars are currently held in the Wharton Room, All Souls College, and online via Zoom. Joining instructions are sent by email to all those on the Research Seminar mailing list.

These seminars are held weekly during term time, on Wednesday mornings from 09.30 to 10.30am. Each week a researcher makes a brief presentation on the subject of their research and the topic is then opened for discussion. This is one of the liveliest and most searching forums for discussion of international law at the University, and it is an excellent way of keeping up-to-date in the subject and honing analytical and presentation skills.
