Research Programmes ESL

Erasmus School of Law aims at having an international and interdisciplinary profile with a strong social and business driven orientation. This is reflected in the set-up and substance of the five research programmes and in the academic background of the researchers affiliated to ESL.

Monitoring Safety and Security (MSS)

The MSS programme contributes to the safety and security of society, both by generating legal and social sientific knowledge for practice and by a critical assessment of the legal and societal implications relating to current modes of monitoring and enforcement.
Interim programme director (since Ferbruary 25 2013): Dr. J.G. van Erp.

Fiscal Autonomy and its Boundries (FA)

The FA programme aims to provide for thorough tax research and to make a relevant contribution both to the academic body of knowledge and society.
Programme director: Prof.Dr. S.J.C. Hemels.

Behavioural Approaches to Contract and Tort: Relevance for Policymaking (BACT)

The BACT programme aims to develop the full potential of the interdisciplinary study of private law in Europe by integrating our strong points in law and economics, psychology, sociology, and the empirical study of private law generally, and thus affirm Erasmus School of Law as a European centre of excellence in the domain of European empirical legal studies.
Programme directors: Prof.Mr. W.H. van Boom and Prof.Dr. M.G. Faure LL.M.

Lex Mercatoria: Globalising Business Law in the 21st century (LM)

The LM programme aims to clarify the substance of and interaction between different aspects of business law, to identify and chart its unexplored parts, and to find solutions for its further development against the backdrop of business law's two primary functions in a globalising world.
Programme director: Prof.Mr. B.F. Assink.

Rethinking the Rule of Law in an Era of Globailisation, Privatisation and Multiculturalisation (RRL)
