complex transfer of knowledge was realized at the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences of the
University of Pécs where a study group was launched on the topic “The Lucifer effect and
beyond. How to prevent torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment in closed institutions?”.
In addition to graduate education, some members of the Department participate in the training
of PhD students as well.
The Department’s staff participated in several domestic and international conferences in the
course of the year; they were also invited to various round table discussions in connection with
the reports published by the NPM. Publishing in professional journals also facilitates the wide
dissemination of knowledge on the OPCAT.
