Welcome to the Durham European Law Institute, a recognised Centre of Durham University. The goal of the Institute is to act as a focus within the University for the dissemination of European Law at regional, national and international levels. It does so by four main activities: research, teaching, publications and conferences.
The main areas of specialisation of the institute are European Constitutional Law, European Free Movement Law, EU External Relations Law, European Competition Law, Fundamental Rights, European co-operation in the criminal sphere and European responses to terrorism. Members of the centre supervise students at PhD and MJur level and are happy to be contacted informally to discuss research proposals.
For further information please see the various sections on this website.
Forthcoming Events
