Timeless memories, with a new sense of modernity, await at the iconic Tivoli Marina Vilamoura Algarve Resort. Located right next to the beach and Vilamoura Marina, the setting is unrivalled, with close proximity to a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars, and scenarios of natural beauty. Newly renovated rooms and suites gleam with lightness and contemporary elegance, offering sweeping views of the marina or ocean to inspire.

Extensive leisure facilities for every type of traveller include four indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Tivoli Spa, Tivoli Shape gym, dedicated family-friendly services and spaces, and Portugal’s first Purobeach - a chic yet laidback concept, where days can be spent basking on a lounger on the golden sands of Praia de Vilamoura, or poolside hidden away amidst lush gardens.

Golden days drift leisurely by basking by the pool, enjoying the fresh flavours of the Mediterranean or savouring delicate afternoon delights at Glee Boutique Café. Evenings are equally indulgent, with an eclectic gastronomic selection that features premium steaks at Pepper’s Steakhouse, signature cocktails overlooking the marina at The Argo Cocktail Bar, and much more. Further afield, the beauty of the Algarve beckons, whether adventures at land or sea, in the famed Ria Formosa, or golfing on one of the region’s many award-winning greens.

The Younger Academics Network of Insolvency Law (YANIL) and the INSOL Europe Academic Forum (IEAF) are pleased to announce that the 7th YANIL Research Workshop on Restructuring and Insolvency Law will take place on Tuesday, 13 October 2026 (afternoon) and Wednesday, 14 October 2026 (morning) in Portugal.

The Workshop will consist of two sessions, the first being held in Portimão (ISMAT- Instituto Superior Manuel Teixeira Gomes) on 13 October, and the second session convening in Vilamoura on 14 October, just before the IEAF Academic Conference.

The workshop provides a forum for early-career insolvency academics to present their research to peers and experienced academics, engage in lively discussions, and receive useful feedback and input on their work. Selected applicants are expected to deliver their presentation in person at the workshop. The Workshop is organized in connection with the IEAF’s Academic Conference of INSOL Europe, that will take place in Villamoura on 14 October (afternoon) and 15 October.

We are pleased to announce the 14th European Insolvency & Restructuring Congress, taking place on 25–26 June 2026 in Brussels, Belgium.

Hosted by the German Bar Association’s Section on Insolvency and Restructuring Law (AGIS), this high-level conference at the Stanhope Hotel will bring together leading practitioners, academics and policymakers from across Europe to discuss key developments and future trends in insolvency and restructuring law. 

The programme features expert panels and interactive workshops on topics such as the harmonisation of European insolvency frameworks, cross-border restructuring tools and the evolving role of stakeholders in restructuring proceedings. A particular highlight is the dedicated “DigitalFriday” programme, which focuses on the growing importance of digital assets and IT systems in insolvency, including valuation challenges, data protection and the practical handling of complex digital infrastructures. 

In addition to the technical programme, the congress offers valuable networking opportunities, including an evening reception hosted by DAV Belgium and the “Goal and Grill” dinner, providing a relaxed setting for informal exchange among participants.

The conference will take place exclusively in person and in English.
