"The workshop attracted a wide range of topics which fit quite well with the general theme of sustainable development.

These ranged from artificial intelligence, labour law, consumer protection law, environmental law, criminal justice, to education.

The diversity of disciplines and research areas really set the stage for a high level of intellectual engagement for all.

My presentation was on higher education using a case study of the Kenyan system of legal higher education. It was exciting to present my work to the audience whose feedback I greatly value and positively impacted my perspective.

The workshop also broadened my networks both academically and socially. I met lots of people from diverse countries and backgrounds.

And least but not least, the workshop exposed me to the beauties of Vienna. I loved being in Vienna, a majestic luxurious city that forces you to slow down and take in all that the air has to offer. The picturesque streets kept me walking for hours. I loved the operas and got to know more about Mozart culture. I also visited the museums and saw the rich history. I must have added some pounds with all of the schnitzel I ate. I truly came back to Coventry a new person!

Haha I am grateful to the University of Warwick for this opportunity and all the continued support that we continue to receive."

"Aside from getting the chance to visit the beautiful city of Vienna, which was a treat in itself, the event proved to be a great learning experience for me.

The theme of the event was "Unlocking Legal Perspectives for Sustainable Development" which aimed to bring together issues of sustainability and law.

Presenting on criminal justice and sustainability gave me insights about sustainability as an additional analytical framework in relation to law.

Given that most other researchers were from Europe, I gained a lot of connections which is otherwise rare in legal conferences because of the differences between common law and civil law.

I am grateful to the University of Warwick for selecting me and giving me the opportunity to attend this great conference."
