2026–2027 Academic Year
The Human Rights Colloquium of the The Time for Rights Network (https://redtiempodelosderechos.com) provides a forum for discussion and exchange in which participants can share their activities, present and discuss ongoing research, showcase the outcomes of completed projects or projects under development, and comment on recent case law and significant publications. It also offers an opportunity to learn about the progress of doctoral researchers and visiting scholars, as well as to discuss any other current issues relating to human rights.
The Institute of Human Rights launched this initiative in April 2024 by organising a series of monthly meetings aimed at showcasing ongoing research. From the 2025–2026 academic year onwards, the Colloquium has formed part of the activities organised by the The Time for Rights Network.
