The symposium: Fundamentals of Criminal LawIntroductionAfArme Marie Anfmsen, Linda Groning, Jørn Jacobsen og Annika SuominenThe symposium Fundamentals o f Crim inal Law  was held in Bergen on the 9th and 10th o f June, 2011. This symposium was the result o f collaboration between two o f the current research projects in crim inal law at the Faculty o f Law, U n i­versity o f Bergen; the research project Crim inal Law Theory: A New Norwegian Approach and the research project Strafferettssystemets funksjonalitet, in English: Functionality in the Crim inal Justice System. Both research projects are funded by Bergen Research Foundation. For further information on the research pro­jects, see their homepages at www.uib.no/jur.The symposium was composed o f contributions from both researchers in­volved in the mentioned research projects and distinguished foreign guests. The symposium addressed five overall topics, with two lectures in each. The topics and their respective presentations were:1) Crim inal Law  and Philosophy (chaired by Ass.

Senior Lecturer Marianne Wade, Birmingham: The European Public Prosecutor as a Challenge fo r  the Legitimacy o f European Crim inal Jus­tice -  can there be crim inal justice without a balanced system to produce it?2. Comment: Prof. Petter Asp, Stockholm.In addition, the symposium gathered a number o f researchers from Nordic and other European countries, which significantly contributed to the stimulating dis­cussions follow ing the different presentations.Doing science is to a large extent comparable to living in Bergen: One is con­stantly facing a new height to climb, often in cloudy weather. Sometimes, how­ever, one gets to a point beyond the clouds where one’s horizon broadens. This symposium confirmed both this character o f science and o f Bergen: A t least we reached new heights and insights during it. We would hereby like to express our gratitude to all those who in different manners contributed to a successful ar­rangement. And we hereby present some o f the papers delivered at the symposi­um so that more than those who were present in Bergen in June are able to take part in them.2
