The success of the pilot gathering in Groningen spurred the initiative to arrange a follow-up meeting, to deal with some of the topics that could not be covered during the 2013 event, which focused exclusively on rethinking public purpose / public interest in expropriation law. The focus of the 2014 event is the Context, Criteria and Consequences of Expropriation Law.

The proceedings will be open to all interested parties. For more information about the topic of the conference, please view the concept paper .
