1. New important developments of EU law after Lisbon, e.g.:
- democratic deficit solutions,
- international legal personality of the EU, Lisbon treaty and international law,
- separation of competences between EU and member states,
- new Treaty revision procedures,
- EU accession and withdrawal,
- Common foreign and security policy after Lisbon,
- new EU competence in criminal law,
- any other interesting issue having emerged in connection with the Lisbon Treaty.
2. The relationship between International and European law in the widest sense, e.g.:
- theoretical issues of the relationship between international and EU law systems,
- EU and international human rights protection (especially European Convention and European Court of Human Rights),
- the role for international and European law within the global financial crisis, EU Fiscal Pact,
- EU as a subject of international law, any legal problems relating to international treaties concluded by the EU with third subjects or by member states within the EU,
- how to conceive the private/public distinction at international/European level,
- where the road of the EU initiatives in the area of private law does lead,
- EU membership in international organisations,
- new developments in international law affecting the EU,
- any other interesting issue relating to international law in connection with the EU.
Each paper is to be based on one or two ideas that should be explained and supported by arguments. It should be expected of the participants that they present papers explaining their own critical assessment of the most pressing issues of International or European law, instead of summarizing what has been already known. Controversial issues are indeed welcome as they are likely to trigger a lively discussion within the conference stream.

Private international law has undergone significant changes over the past decade. On the one hand, this is represented by regional unification of regulations adopted within the EU; on the other hand, in some countries, by the necessity to adapt their private international laws to new civil regulations in areas, where unification has not reached. The latter is case of the Czech Republic. Contributions in this section will focus on development of national rules on private international law under the influence of the EU law and universal unification of the Hague Conference on Private International Law. Another important aspects of interest will be new phenomena in the field of private international law (such as regionalism, europeization, electronization, emphasizing the autonomy will of parties, extension of protection of selected groups of subjects, collision of fundamental rights and freedoms and their impact on the formulation of private international law rules. The output of this section will be, if sufficient amount of thematically relevant articles submitted, monograph tracing the development and new trends in private international law.

Protection of the state against cyber attacks is a relatively new legislative input. In this case it is not so much about punishing specific forms of cyber crime, but rather about prevention against malicious cyber attacks in general, or about covering such attacks with effective detection and protection mechanisms. Increased public interest as well as considerable demand among ISP's leads to the need for national coordination of preventive and protective measures. In this sense, the National Security Authority developed and Czech government approved outline of a bill on cyber security. This section will discuss principles of this outline and possible specific legislative solution of systematic protection of the czech cyberspace against typical forms of large scale cyber attacks.
