The Law Faculty has established Centres of Expertise in order to let society at large benefit from our knowledge. A Centre of Expertise consists of a group of researchers with a specific legal knowledge, and the Centre's purpose is to distribute scientific knowledge to stakeholders outside the academic community and organise partnerships with these stakeholders. Our Centres of Expertise reflect specific fields of expertise currently available in the Law Faculty.
