Europe-China School of Law

Since 2008 our Faculty has been a member of a consortium that is coordinated by the Universität Hamburg, the China University of Political Science and Law, Beijing and the Tsinghua University, Beijing, and rallies 13 additional European universities. This Chinese-European law school is intended to promote the training of young Chinese legal practitioners who can respond to international challenges.

Legal Research Network

In cooperation with University of Groningen, University of Turku, University of Uppsala, Universiteit van Gent, Universität Göttingen.

In 2009 our Faculty was invited to participate in the Legal Research Network (which was founded in 2006). Under the auspices of the Network a summer university is held each year for doctoral students and a legal conference, which is attended by instructors of the participating universities.

European Law Faculties Association (ELFA)

Our Faculty is a member of ELFA, which is the European Law Faculties Association (http://www.elfa-afde.net/), which is the representative organ of faculties of law across Europe. Founded in Leuven, Belgium, in 1995 by some eighty law faculties, today it has 160 members from universities of the EU and from non-EU European countries. ELFA coordinates faculty initiatives in the field of the education of law, postgraduate legal education and issues related to the mobility of instructors and students. Its journal is European Journal of Legal Education, which reports about the state of legal education in Europe and ensures an international forum for debates, as for instance that going on among European universities about the possibilities of implementing the principles of the Sorbonne-Bologna Declaration in legal education.
