NaUKMA Faculty of Law participates in “Social Market Economy” conference at Jagiellonian University

The Jagiellonian University (Faculty of Law and Administration) hosted the academic conference “Social Market Economy”, marking the 50th anniversary of Professor Tadeusz Włudyka’s academic career.

The Faculty of Law at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy was represented by Roksolana Khanyk-Pospolitak, PhD in Law, Associate Professor in the Department of Private Law and Head of the Centre for Civil Law Studies.

This anniversary has special significance for our Faculty. From 2005 to 2008, Professor Tadeusz Włudyka served as Dean of the Faculty of Law and Administration at Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie. At the time, our Faculty was still young and actively seeking international partners. Professor Włudyka supported our Faculty, and in 2008 the two universities signed a cooperation agreement. With his support, cooperation with Heidelberg University in Germany was also launched.

This shared academic history gained a new chapter at the anniversary conference. The event featured the presentation of the book “Społeczna gospodarka rynkowa. Studia z prawa i ekonomii” (“Social Market Economy: Studies in Law and Economics”). It includes the article “Ukraińskie rządowe instrumenty pochodne (warranty PKB) w systemie instrumentów finansowych” (“Ukrainian Government Derivatives (GDP Warrants) in the System of Financial Instruments”), co-authored by Roksolana Khanyk-Pospolitak and Volodymyr Pospolitak, PhD in Law and Associate Professor in the Department of Private Law at the Faculty of Law, NaUKMA.

The authors examine Ukrainian government derivatives within the broader system of financial instruments. These instruments emerged from the economic need to restructure state budget obligations. In wartime, this issue has become particularly relevant.

We sincerely thank Professor Tadeusz Włudyka for placing his trust in our Faculty and for the support that laid the foundation for an important international partnership nearly two decades ago. We are delighted that the academic ties established then continue to develop today.
