Our Department offers an excellent working environment in EU law, which includes other post-docs and a dynamic group of PhD researchers, working both with individual professors and on externally funded collective projects. The Department is situated in Kirchberg, physically close to the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Parliament, the European Commission, and other EU institutions and bodies, and offers opportunities to exchange with their members.
