About 2026 Annual Toogdag

The Erasmus School of Law invites submissions for the 2026 Annual Toogdag to be held on June 11. The theme of the annual conference from the Netherlands Network for Human Rights Research is: Safeguarding Human Rights in the Technological Age. The 2026 Toogdag, hosted by Erasmus School of Law and its Erasmus Center of Law and Digitalization, will explore these themes in depth. The plenary sessions will address the broader implications of technology on human rights, while parallel sessions will focus on specific themes related to the digital age, business, migration, climate, and economic, social, and cultural rights, as well as areas of Dutch law such as administrative and criminal law. The program welcomes contributions in Dutch, reflecting the inclusive nature of the discussions.
