Suggested angles

Position your research on how institutional trust mechanisms are adapting to cross-border governance challenges in the Benelux region—a timely angle given the conference's focus on public law in transition and its specific geographic location

Frame your expertise around the tension between democratic legitimacy and administrative efficiency in responding to rapid policy changes—directly addressing the 'transition' theme while offering practical insights relevant to Benelux legal practitioners and policymakers

Propose a panel examining how transparency and accountability reforms in public institutions are reshaping citizen-government relationships—this connects the 'trust' theme to concrete legal reforms happening in the region between October 2026

Pitch a paper or panel that addresses how specific Benelux jurisdictions are redesigning public law structures to rebuild institutional trust during periods of regulatory or governance change.
