The Advisory Council of the E.M. Meijers Institute was established in 2004. The Board is charged with advising the Research Institute on key aspects of the research policy.

The Faculty Quality System for Research

With the establishment of the E.M. Meijers Institute, a new quality assessment system for scientific research was developed. To fully understand this system it is important to make a distinction between the different groups of academic staff.

Strategy focused on programmatic cooperation

Since as early as 1996 the strategy of the Faculty has been focused on cooperation between researchers from the various legal disciplines, as well as between lawyers and non-lawyers.

Categories of researchers

A number of different categories of researchers work together within the Faculty Institute (fellows, PhD candidates, visiting fellows and other guests, and students).

Training of PhD candidates

An important task of the Research Institute is the training of generally young people as academic researchers.

Obtaining the doctoral degree

The Faculty anticipates that the number of PhDs obtained in the coming years will continue at the present high level.

Cooperation with other Faculties

The Faculty has a number of partnerships for scientific research, both nationally and internationally.

A programmatic straitjacket?

The programmes are formulated so as to set the direction of research within the Faculty and to be stimulating, but they are not intended to impose unnecessary pressure on researchers.

Research Work Placements

The research work placement is intended for students with academic ambitions. There are a number of possibilities.
