Sustainability is (Still) Possible!
Governing Market Actors for a Safe and Just Space
The Steering Committee for the SMART Network is seeking papers for its symposium in Turin on 18 and 19 September 2025. The symposium aims to revitalise the SMART Network by reestablishing connections between existing members and welcoming new friends and colleagues interested in sustainability-focused research.
Call for papers deadline: 1 April 2025
The EU-funded project SMART (Sustainable Market Actors for Responsible Trade, 2016-2020) sought to identify the factors that would facilitate the contribution of businesses and other market actors to sustainability. Drawing on SMART’s framework, this call understands sustainability as securing social foundations for humanity everywhere, now and in the future, while mitigating pressures on planetary boundaries. In short, it is about ensuring a safe and just space for humans and other living creatures. Despite business-as-usual driving humanity toward an unsustainable future, we, the Steering Committee of the SMART Network continue to believe in SMART’s mission statement that sustainability is possible.
At its conclusion in February 2020, the SMART project publishedreform proposals which covered three main strands: Bussiness,Finance and Products. These proposals encompassed trade and investment law, business law, company law and accounting law, financial market law and banking, public procurement, and circular economy law. In the intervening years, these proposals have informed legal reforms and provided a foundation for a new range of research projects and publications. It is now time to take stock, look back at the work, reform proposals and legacy of the SMART project and look forward to what needs to be done and how it can be achieved.
A wide variety of areas can be covered, including the following:
- Governance of business, including global value chains, for sustainability
- Sustainable finance and banking
- Corporate sustainability due diligence
- The evolution of accounting and sustainability reporting
- Circular economy and product regulation
- Public procurement for sustainability
- International trade and investment
- Litigation for sustainability
Abstracts of 500 words should be submitted via this online form before 1 April 2025. Responses will be provided by 30 April. While the symposium will run in a hybrid format, preference will be given to papers for in-person delivery.
In advance of the symposium, selected participants will be asked to develop their abstract into a blog for possible publication in Blogging for Sustainability. All accepted participants will be required to submit short draft papers for circulation to other participants no later than 1 September 2025. We also aim to publish, subject to agreement with editors and peer review, a set of final papers in a special issue of a leading international journal. Hence, we request that abstracts contain original work, not published elsewhere.
The symposium will be followed by a SMART Network meeting to discuss how the network should move forward, potential research collaborations, and future publication plans for the final papers.
The organisers are unable to offer funds for travel or accommodation. However, no registration fee is required and the University of Turin will kindly provide food and refreshments.
We look forward to reading your abstracts and meeting you at the 2025 SMART Network symposium.

The editors of Europe and the World: A law review are delighted to announce that their journal has been accepted into Scopus (https://www.scopus.com) and the Directory of Open Access Journals (https://doaj.org/toc/2399-2875) index and invite papers for publication.
Europe and the World: A law review aims to contribute to legal scholarship on the place of Europe in the world, with a particular but by no means exclusive focus on EU external relations law. As a peer-reviewed open-access journal by a renowned university publisher it makes highest-quality work promptly available to a global audience. Open-access makes individual contributions and legal scholarship more visible, accessible, and accountable. The journal serves as a forum where the national, international and EU perspectives meet and engage. The journal is therefore irreverent of traditional distinctions between EU, international, and national law. While primarily offering legal doctrinal and theoretical analyses, the journal also publishes multi-disciplinary work and political science and international relations contributions with an external perspective on the law of EU’s external relations.
The journal publishes article-length papers and shorter pieces offering an analysis of topical issues or recent cases, as well as review articles and special series. The journal welcomes the submission of highest-quality papers in the following formats:
- Original research articles (8-12,000 words)
- European Law and Practice articles: case notes, current legal developments (5-8,000 words)
- Review articles: e.g. critical and systematic appraisal of the current research
- Book review articles
Papers published in the journal will be freely available to read online and published under the CC-BY 4.0 international licence (https://journals.uclpress.co.uk/site/licence).
Submission procedure
Please submit your paper with an abstract of about 250 words and 5 keywords (for details please see the journal’s Author Guidelines) through the UCL Press journals submission system at https://ucl.jams.pub. The Editors aim for a quick revision process, which should not usually exceed 10 weeks.
For all queries concerning the submission of papers please contact the Editors-in-chief at europeandtheworld@ucl.ac.uk.
Submitted papers should adhere to the format requirements of Europe and the World - A Law Review. Before your submission please visit the author guidelines for the journal here.

CALL FOR PAPERS:
Non-use of digital technologies and regulation
This volume of the Bialystok Legal Studies journal is devoted to the non-use of digital technologies and the protection of such non-use by law as well as other means of regulation (cf. e.g., Lessig, 2006, p. 123). We consider here all genres of technology – be they already established, or new and/or emerging (e.g., the Internet, artificial intelligence (AI), etc.) – that are somewhat digital (as opposed to the analogue). We consider here all means of regulation (e.g., Lessig’s rulemaking, market, norms and architecture/code), including all branches of law (e.g., fundamental/human rights, public international law, data protection, financial regulation, competition/antitrust). As the contemporary ubiquity of these technologies leaves little if no choice for individuals whether to use them, our interest in legal and other regulatory means to protect their non-use (cf. e.g., Kloza, 2024) merits both academic and professional attention.

CALL FOR PAPERS:
"Modern technologies in commercial law and financial markets"
Theme Editor: Paweł Czaplicki
The main topic of issue 3/2025 of “Bialystok Legal Studies” will be the issue of "Modern technologies in commercial law and financial markets". In recent years, we have observed a significant increase in the use of modern technologies in all spheres of life, including economic market. Technological development has also resulted in far-reaching changes in legal regulations in this area. There are also spheres that should be of interest to representatives of legal doctrine, practice, and the legislator in the coming years.
This issue of our journal will focus on the following issues:
• the use of modern technologies in the current functioning of entrepreneurs, including commercial law companies in business transactions,
• electronic registration proceedings, including extension of the functionality of the electronic National Court Register,
• electronic insolvency proceedings, including the creation and operation of the electronic National Register of Debtors,
• development of the FinTech sector,
• the use of blockchain technology in business transactions,
• development of the cryptocurrency market,
• dematerialization and tokenization processes of securities and other financial instruments,
• implementation and use of smart contracts in business transactions,
• applications of artificial intelligence in the financial sector,
• the impact of the use of modern technologies on the stability and security of financial markets.
We would like this issue of "Bialystok Legal Studies" to contain publications that are part of a scientific discussion on the use of modern technologies in commercial law and financial markets and the influence of the legislator on creating the modern economy. In the proposed publications, it is necessary to subject the researched problems to scientific reflection in the context of their actuality and long-term nature. Publications should include both de lege lata and de lege ferenda conclusions.
Additionally, the following elements will be taken into account: - innovative and revealing topics, - high substantive level, - legal and comparative nature (co-authored publications with foreign affiliation are especially recommended), - citing publications from journals indexed in the Scopus/Web of Science database, - citing publications from "Bialystok Legal Studies".

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL
FOR THE SEMIOTICS OF LAW
SPECIAL ISSUE
On Ricoeur: Justice, Hermeneutics, Responsibility, and Personal Identity
Volume 38 (2025)
Guest Editors – Peter Langford & Rafe McGregor
(Edge Hill University)
The work of Paul Ricoeur is animated by an insistent philosophical engagement with the position and orientation of human existence. An integral aspect of Ricoeur’s philosophical engagement concerns the relationship between individual existence, as a question of personal identity, and co-existence, as a question of social life. This engagement is shaped by a reflexive interpretation – a hermeneutics – of these aspects of human existence in a manner that has been termed a ‘hermeneutics of the human condition’ (Domenico Jervolino, Paul Ricoeur, Une herméneutique de la condition humaine, 2002).
The presence of law within the framework of this reflexive interpretation arises through the question of justice, which situates law in relation to both personal identity and human co-existence. The passage from the individual to human co-existence becomes that of the interconnection between responsibility and justice. In this manner, law becomes a domain or region of reflection in and through its connection to morality, ethics, and politics. Law is a distinct, but neither self-contained nor self-sufficient, domain whose distinctiveness is to be considered through its interconnection with these other domains. The position accorded to law is thus the expression of a wider, reflexive reconfiguration of the interrelationship of all these domains.
The reconfiguration results from an overarching process of reflexive interpretation that involves the selection of, and interpretative orientation to, the texts which form the material or corpus for this overarching process. It is in this selection and interpretation that the distinctive character of Ricoeurian hermeneutics is elaborated, the question of justice raised, and the domain of law accorded its particular position. We invite proposals that explore one or more of these themes of this special issue on the work of Paul Ricoeur.
Submissions
Submissions should be addressed to: Peter Langford (langforp@edgehill.ac.uk) and Rafe McGregor (mcgregor@edgehill.ac.uk).
- Abstracts of 300 words (maximum) by 1 January 2025.
- After selection, final papers (10,000 words maximum, including endnotes and references) should be submitted by 1 June 2025.

The increasing proliferation of information and communication technologies (ICT) in our lives, has facilitated connectivity growth between distinct parts of our world. Various types of data are continuously streaming across many boundaries in the world with different models, policies, and purposes. This data is usually analyzed or stored on edge or gateway devices, which have limited capabilities and are vulnerable to sophisticated attacks. Recent cyberattacks dangerously target a broad array of computing systems, varying from data centers and personal machines to mobile devices and industrial control systems. There is a growing need for new methodologies, tools, and techniques, capable of extracting, preserving, and analyzing different evidence trails in various networked systems and services. Additionally, there is also a growing need for research into new systems that are capable of analyzing network traffic, netflows, and systems logs. Satisfying these demands will aid in reconstructing the timeline of the cyber-crime/attack under investigation and possibly, the identification of the potential actor(s). Cyber forensics and threat investigations have rapidly emerged as a new research field to provide the key elements for maintaining security, reliability, and trustworthiness of the next generation of emerging technologies. Moreover, new frameworks are required to collect and preserve potential evidential data in suitable and timely manners as well. To guarantee proper cyber-defenses and strategies against the expanding landscape of criminal activities as well as rapidly advancing emerging technologies.
The workshop is held in conjunction with the IEEE CSR 2024 conference as a , during September 2–4, 2024.
