The Oñati Community project, which began in 2016 as a platform to strengthen and maintain connections among people linked to the Institute, has recently focused its efforts on the development of academic activities related to the IISL.
• Promoting the Institute’s six research lines: https://www.iisj.net/en/2026-research-lines
• Organizing webinars: https://www.iisj.net/en/socio-legal-network/onati-community
• Continuously sharing activities and opportunities through our social media channels, with the aim of keeping the network active and connected (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook)
Please remember that, as a member of the Oñati Community, you are welcome to submit proposals for existing research lines, and even create a new one, as well as for the organization of webinars.
Membership is open to all persons who are enthusiastic about the genuine Oñati experience and some degree of active involvement in the OC is expected from the members, and voluntary contribution to a small fund that can be used to support the OC activities and small but important financial help for students or Conference participations.
