| Presentation |
| Founded in 1997 and directed by Professor Alessio Zaccaria, Full Professor in Civil Law at the Faculty of Law at Verona University, the Centre for Research and teaching of Private European Law has obtained, among other things, the recognition of the European Commission which has decided to support its activities in the "Robert Schuman" Project area. Hosted by the Verona University Faculty of Law, with its headquarters in the old "Palazzo Zitelle" in Via Carlo Montanari, the Centre makes use of the modern structure of the said Faculty for its own administrative management and for the development of almost all its institutional activities, especially the "Giorgio Zanotto" Library, which is located in the Legal Studies Department. The Centre aims, as the Statute which institutes and rules its work states, at promoting the study of Private European Law, both in an Academic context as well as in public and company Institutions. This is done in accordance with a view that takes account of the theoretical profile as well as the technical and practical-applicative one. Private European Law includes all the dispositions and legal principles common to all the member countries of the European Union. It is now a unanimous opinion that the latter, in view of integration - even though activated with full respect for the different peoples - and the Common Market, is in need of private European Law. So far, however, those hoped that a coherent system would be able to give rise to this in the European Union itself, have been disappointed. This is why it is clearly becoming more and more necessary to work towards building a common European law at a doctrinal level before turning it into legislation. The Centre for Research and Teaching Private European Law intends to make its own contribution to this process by means of working in the same spirit as European outlook that has been one of its distinguishing features, right from the very begining, of the Verona University Faculty of Law. The Centre's activities are mostly concerned with organising conferences and congresses to which lecturers and experts, both Italian and from abroad, are regularly invited, the latter come from the sectors directly concerned with the different problems that study and application, even in the professional field, pose: problems in private legislation and normative production involving the community. The Centre's activities , besides this, also include the constant categorising and updating work of Official Documents, norms, legal and doctrinal material on the subject of Private European Law, the care and furthering of publications of scientific interest, as well as the support given to the Doctorate of international research into the subject of "Private European Law of Petrimonial Relations" whose administrative headquarters is based in Verona. Lastly, in order to increase relations of cultural and professional exchange within the European Union, the Centre maintains constant relations with many Universities and University Institutions operating within the European Union as well as with important public and economic institutions, such as, in Verona, The Bar, the Chamber of Commerce and the Italo-German Chamber of Commerce. |
