Central European Academy
The Central European Academy (CEA), which is committed to supporting comparative law in Central Europe began its work on the 1st of January 2022.
The aims of the Academy are to manage large-scale research and training projects in Central European countries, addressing both legal professionals and young people interested in the field.
In order to achieve its goals, CEA operates the Central European Professors' Network, organizes international scientific conferences and webinars, provides scientific publication opportunities, and creates and manages online professional interfaces.
As a result of its activities, the Academy is confident that, in addition to improving the quality of domestic legislation, it will be able to create and support a widely acknowledged professional network involving Central European countries.

With the active participation of seven countries (the Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia), the Professors' Network carries out comprehensive international academic activity in the field of comparative law, with about 35 main researchers per year, organised in four research groups, on a variety of topics.
The results and conclusions of the work of the research groups are presented at nearly 60 international professional events (lectures, courses, radio and TV interviews, publications), at eight major international conferences and through the publication of several textbooks.
