International
Conference
IPRs
and TRANSFER of KNOWLEDGE:
FROM
RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS TO THE MARKET
Transfer of Knowledge consists of the range of activities that aim to capture and transmit knowledge (either explicit, such as in patents, or tactic, such as know-how), skills and competence from those who generate them to those who will transform them into economic outcomes.
It includes activities that span commercial and non-commercial realms such as research collaborations, consultancy, licensing, spin-off creation, researcher mobility and publication.
Besides acting as a driving force for the development of local and national economies, the development of research is beneficial to multiple stakeholders: industry, universities and public research bodies, researchers and society at large, all of which benefit from technological and scientific progress.
It is within this context that the Conference takes place and shape. The initiative aims to take advantage of the expertise of many leading scholars and practitioners to cast light on the different rules and possible solutions to be offered to the relevant issues of knowledge transfer both at the local institutional setting and the transnational
dimension.

International
Conference
PRINCIPLES
AND RULES
OF
TRANSNATIONAL
CIVIL PROCEDURE
The
Conference took as its starting point the final
approval by UNIDROIT and the American Law Institute of
the “Principles and Rules of
Transnational Civil Procedure”, whose General Editors
are Professors Michele Taruffo (University of Pavia) and
G. C. Hazard jr. (University of Pennsylvania) and
Rolf
Stuerner (University of Freiburg, Germany).
To
discuss the merits and the possible implementation of
the above Principles and Rules the Conference gathered
prominent specialists from all over the world.
The Conference is born on the initiative of Professor
Mauro Bussani (
University
of
Trieste
), was sponsored by Fondazione dell’Avvocatura Italiana
and Consiglio Nazionale Forense, and took place at the University
of
Trieste, on December 2&3, 2005.

Greek-Italian
Comparative
Law Meeting
TRANSNATIONAL
TORT LAW
The
pursue of legal integration is pushing the field of tort
law toward rapid developments, both at a transnational
and european level. This process, however, as any other
process of legal integration, or harmonization, is
called to meet a crucial need. What is necessary is that
every effort should be preceded by an in-depth scrutiny
of the real differences and the real similarities
existing between the legal systems, so that the law
arising from the integration can include rules that
remove those contrast, often only conceptual and
notional, that beget unreasonable diversities in the
legal treatment of similar cases. It is self-evident, to
say the very least, that the application to similar
facts of different tort law rules across national
systems engenders a costly unreliability hampering both
the growth of transnational economic activities and,
from a European perspective, the achievement of a truly
common market.
It
is in this context that the Meeting takes place and
shape. Hardly worth mentioning are Greek ties with
Trieste and the impact tort law issues have on the
insurance market, which the economy of this city is so
much dependent on. The meeting goals are to be stressed
instead.
On
the one hand, the initiative aims to take advantage of
the expertise of so many leading scholars to cast light
on the possible solutions to be offered to the relevant
tort law issues at stake in the transnational context.
On the other hand, at a European level, one should
consider that Greek experience could be
a model of reference for all those Mediterranean
countries which have just adhered to, or are about to
become members of the EU. This is why the Greek-Italian
Comparative Law aims to provide an unvaluable
opportunity, at the highest scientific level, for a
thourough analysis of the methods and the practical
outcomes of the legal integration in a branch of private
law which is so crucial in every-day life of ordinary
people as well of business and any other entity
activities.

International
Conference
"East & West In The European Tort Law
Perspective"
In
every society Tort Law plays a crucial role in the
actual life of the legal system and of the people using
it. Wherever, when relationships between individuals do
not converge towards a contract nor are absorbed by
property law, then comes the time for tort law rules to
provide justice.
The
goal of the comparative research in the law of torts is
to clarify diversities and similarities amidst the
operative rules of the various legal systems. The need
is to go beyond statutory formulas, since in the field
of torts, even more than in other areas, the ‘law’
is made by judicial decisions, by
the beliefs that underpin these decisions, by insurance practices which affect the allocation of the
costs ensuing risks and damages.
This
comparative analysisis calls for an effort which is more
and more urgent to the management of private conflicts
in a ‘globalized’ world. But this is specially true
in
Europe, at the dawn of a new era
characterized by the enlargement/enrichment of the EU.
The
issues arising from the infliction of ‘pure
economic’ losses, thereby affecting nothing else than
the patrimonial sphere of the victim, is in this
perspective a very useful case-study to test solutions
given to problems, which not only straddle the opaque
frontier between contract and tort, but also involve the
day-by-day life of every person, being s/he or not an
investor, being s/he an Eastern or a Western European.

International Colloquium
“Human Diversity and the
Law – La Diversité Humaine et le Droit”
The IALS (International
Association of Legal Sciences), the ISAIDAT (Istituto
subalpino per l’insegnamento e l’analisi del diritto
delle attività transnazionali) - both chaired by
Professor Rodolfo Sacco -, the Dipartimento di
Scienze Giuridiche ed Economiche dell’Università del
Piemonte Orientale, chaired by Professor Michele
Graziadei, and the
‘Centro Studi di Diritto Comparato’, chaired by
Professor Mauro Bussani, have organized
the International Colloquium “Human Diversity and the
Law – La Diversité Humaine et le Droit”.
All
over the world, in growing measure, individual
identities are spread across multiple layers of
affiliations - tied to family, community, State,
religion, to the position one occupies within a given
political, social, and economic framework, to one's own
languages and other cultural set of experiences, and so
forth. What are the legal implications of this
phenomenon?
The Colloquium focussed on these questions within the
framework of a multidisciplinary international research
project of the IALS - Association established under the patronage of UNESCO -, edited by Professors
Mauro Bussani and Michele Graziadei.
The
proceedings of the Seminar are forthcoming in a volume
published by Staempfli Publishers Ltd., Bruylant Ltd.,
Ant. N. Sakkoulas.

International Seminar
“Financial Contracts and
Secured Transactions
in the European Perspective”
The
Chair of Private Comparative Law of the University of Trieste
Law School and the
‘Centro Studi di Diritto Comparato’, chaired by
Professor Mauro Bussani, together with the Dipartimento
di Scienze Giuridiche of the University of Trieste, chaired by Professor
Francesco Peroni, and with the financial contribution of
the Regione Friuli–Venezia Giulia (Direzione Affari
Europei), have organized the International Seminar “I
Contratti di Finanziamento e le Garanzie del Credito
nella Prospettiva Europea/Financial Contracts and
Secured Transactions in the European Perspective”. The practical aim of the Seminar was to give the
opportunity to scholars, business lawyers and bank
professionals to meet together and discuss the issues
arising from the field of financial contracts and
secured transactions in the perspective of the European
legal integration and enlargement. The scientific goal
of the meeting was to to measure convergences and
divergences across the different legal systems in order to find out
a possible common core which can prove useful for the
future legal integration in the field.
The proceedings of the Seminar are published by the
Edizioni Universitarie Triestine (E.U.T.) in the series
“Quaderni del Dipartimento di Scienze Giuridiche” of
the University of Trieste Press, 2003.
