The ‘Balkan Criminology’ One-Week Intensive Course will be held
from 21st to 26th October at the Inter-University Center in Dubrovnik.
The course provides in-depth and up-to-date knowledge about the state of
art in crime research in the Balkans, while introducing its
participants to the basics of criminological methodology, phenomenology
and etiology. It is part of the overall scientific programme of the Max
Planck Partner Group for Balkan Criminology, which is jointly
established between the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law and the Zagreb Faculty of Law – University of Zagreb/Croatia and funded by Germany’s leading research foundation – the Max Planck Society.
The course serves as a platform for the dissemination of criminological expertise gathered through the MPPG scientific activities: The MPPG research focuses, as well as the expertise gathered at the annual conferences. This concept of transforming newest research findings and expertise from and for the region into transmittable knowledge for course participants ensures a holistic approach that combines education with science and research. The added value for course participants is, besides the knowledge itself, the networking opportunity with colleagues from the region and the possibility to present their PhD/Master/Diploma thesis before internationally and regionally renown experts.
