The Maritime Law Department conducts scientific and educational activities, as well as implements international and national projects and activities aimed also at popularizing science e.g. in cooperation with entrepreneurs from the maritime economy during the organization of scientific conferences on maritime law. Our scientific research generally focuses on determining the degree of legal compliance of domestic law with international maritime law, also in terms of enforcement of law in practice. These studies show a multifaceted and interdisciplinary character.
