19 students from the Academic lyceum of University of World Economy and Diplomacy from Tashkent, Uzbekistan visited Lund University. 19 students (12 boys and 7 girls), accompanied by their four teachers, visited the department of Sociology of Law at Lund University. During their visit, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) fellows – Dr Rustamjon Urinboyev and Dr Sherzod Eraliev from Lund University talked about their research with the students.
