Special features of the programme
The Faculty of Law at the University of Groningen is home to two specialised research bodies from which the Health and Technology Law LLM gains its expertise.
The Groningen Centre for Health Law (GCHL) is a unique centre in the Netherlands, focusing on various determinants or factors that impact health from the perspective of international, regional and domestic health law. This research is further informed by health science and public health scholarship. Members of the GCHL address a wide range of determinants of health from tobacco control, to air pollution and mental health in order to holistically tackle global health challenges.
The Security, Technology and e-Privacy (STeP) Research Group is an interdisciplinary team of researchers – from early stage researchers to advanced researchers – organised within the Department of Transboundary Legal Studies (TLS). As can be derived from the name, the STeP Research Group is involved in research in three main areas in their broadest sense which are very much inter-related: security, technology and privacy.
The Academic Director of the programme is Prof. Brigit Toebes. Below you can find a segment of a presentation she gave about Tobacco control in the Netherlands.
