About research

The research in the Faculty of Law consists of three legal area transcending, multidisciplinary and internationally orientated research lines, which are set up by Research Centres of the faculty's Research Institute Centre for Law, Administration and Society (Centrum voor Recht, Bestuur en Samenleving (CRBS)).

These Research Centres, in which all Field of Law Specific Research Groups participate, are:

1. Research Centre Seeking justice and finding justice: about the process of administration of justice

2. Research Centre Securing public interest in private arrangements

3. Research Centre Convergence and divergence in a shared legal orders.

 

CRBS actively participates in a Legal Research Network with the universities of Ghent , Uppsala en Turku . Yearly, the Network organizes a conference and a summer school.

 

Within the Research Centre Securing public interest in private arrangements, the Groningen Centre of Energy Law (GCEL) coordinates all legal research involving (parts) of the energy sector.

 

Furthermore, the research of the Faculty of Law consists of twelve field of law specific programmes, which can be found on this site under Field of Law Specific Research Programmes.
