Visiting Scholars

Visiting Fellows Programme

BACT offers scholars the opportunity to visit our research group for a short research stay. We offer an exciting environment for multidisciplinary legal research and we enjoy the exchange of thoughts and ideas with academics having research interests similar to ours.

• The Programme for Visiting Fellows is open to all academic staff – professors, PhD candidates, postdocs, research fellows, and so on – from any country. Obviously, the fellow’s research interests and activities during the visit should be relevant for the BACT research programme.
• The fellow commits to presenting his/her research at one of the BACT seminars and to participating in our academic gatherings.
• Note that BACT is not in the position to fund your accommodation in Rotterdam, but we will help you with arranging your accommodation. We advise you to make your own arrangements for travel, health, and liability insurance.
• If you consider applying, please make informal enquiries with Prof. Van Boom or Prof. Faure.
