Our first Research Exchange meeting took place on Wednesday 6 April 18:00-19:30 at Athens PIL premises (47 Academias str., 3rd floor) and online (via zoom).
We had the pleasure to hear from two post-doctoral researchers at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, presenting projects at different stages of completion. Our discussion focused both on the substance of their research as well as on their methodology and challenges they have encountered.
First, Dr. Evangelos Tolis delivered a presentation of his current research project titled “Application of article 6 ECHR before Greek criminal courts” focusing on jurisprudential solutions derived from the application and interpretation of the Greek CCP in the light of the ECHR.
Second, Dr. Maria-Louiza Deftou presented the main arguments of her PhD thesis titled “Exporting the European Convention on Human Rights” examining the question of impact of the ECHR norms on other regional and global legal orders as well as the methodology of the judicial dialogue between their enforcement mechanisms.
