2nd Seminar on Health Law: Current Issues

The University of Deusto Law School will be holding a Seminar on Current Issues in Health Law on 18 June 2025. This is the 2nd Seminar linked to the Expert Diploma in Health Law and will take place — on this occasion in person — at the Bilbao Campus (Sala Barandiarán) of the University of Deusto. This seminar fosters the exchange of knowledge and enrichment across disciplines—especially between Law and Health Sciences—as well as among national and supranational entities and institutions. Its general aim is to promote the study and dissemination of Health Law among students and faculty across various disciplines. Specifically, it seeks to provide effective responses to the growing number of legal and health-related conflicts arising across ordinary areas of jurisdiction, such as civil, criminal, administrative, commercial, and social law.
