Foreword

On 17 June 2021, at the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (Lublin), a Polish-Ukrainian conference was held, titled “Priorities in the New Green Deal Strategy of the European Union”. The concept of the conference was put forward by the Department of Agricultural Law and Land Management of the Institute of Legal Sciences of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in collaboration with the Leaders of Change Foundation, responsible for the Lane Kirkland Scholarship Program in Poland. The scholarship holders who carried out their study projects in the academic year 2020/2021, given the pandemic restrictions applicable at that time, looked for the then-available forms of cooperation and exchange of experiences, as well as presentation of their research results. The proposal to hold a conference in the online formula was considered as meeting their expectations.
