On December 12, 2025, in Warsaw, at the Constitutional Tribunal building, the annual international scientific conference was held. This year’s event focused on the theme: “Accountability of Constitutional State Bodies in the Context of the Rule of Law Crisis – Perspectives of Young Researchers.” The conference was organized in cooperation with the Constitutional Tribunal of the Republic of Poland. The honorary patron of the event was the independent prosecutors’ association “Ad Vocem.”
Among the invited guests were Prof. János Ede Szilágyi, who had led the Central European Academy (CEA) since its foundation and played a key role in its establishment; Prof. Michał Sopiński, Rector of the Judicial Academy; and Dr. Katarzyna Zombory, a fellow at The Hague Academy of Law, senior researcher, and former Acting Director of the Central European Academy in Budapest.
The conference was also attended by Bogdan Święczkowski, President of the Constitutional Tribunal, and Marcin Wielec, Dean of the Faculty of Law and Administration at UKSW.
This year’s conference consisted of three panel discussions: an expert panel and two panels where young Hungarian and Polish researchers presented their research findings. The event was particularly timely in the era of the rule of law crisis, focusing on issues examined from the perspective of young researchers.
The panel participants addressed a wide range of topics, including rule of law risks within the prosecution service, the enforcement of the right to a fair trial, and the paradoxes of the rule of law in the context of its political instrumentalization.
