The International Conference «Estate, Succession and Autonomy ‒ new assets and new trends» took place at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa in Porto on 13 and 14 April 2023, in association with the 5th ADFAS International Congress 2023.
The event brought together distinguished international and national guest speakers as well as those resulting from a call for papers.
The pressure of cultural, economic, and technical forces, the impact of phenomena such as ‘globalization’, ‘digitalization’ and ‘dematerialization’, the development and application of artificial intelligence, the markets and financial products and free movement of persons and goods have brought about new dimensions for ancient legal problems.
A reflection on the traditional approach methods to Citizenship, Solidarity and Social Inclusion is warranted, particularly regarding the complexity of regulation of access to goods and rights over goods.
The topicality of the themes, the quality of the speakers involved, and the innovative nature of the interventions turned this Conference into an event with a high profile and impact, both on a scientific and academic level and among legal actors.
