The launch of the new Research Visiting Fellowship Scheme marks a significant milestone in °×С½ãÂÛ̳'s longstanding collaboration with Germany’s Max Planck Institutes (MPIs).

The scheme is due to launch in September 2024 and will allow up to two °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Laws academic staff members to undertake research visits of one to three months at any of the nine MPL institutes. MPL is a national network engaging in legal studies, operating the world's most extensive doctoral and postdoctoral research programme in law and employing approximately 400 researchers.

This scheme was formally agreed during a °×С½ãÂÛ̳ delegation visit to mainland Europe in May 2024, led by Professor Geraint Rees, Vice-Provost (Research, Innovation & Global Engagement). He was joined by Professor Eloise Scotford, Dean of °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Laws, and by colleagues from °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Global Engagement.

Professor Scotford said: "Our partnership with Max Planck Law opens doors to unparalleled access to specialised legal communities for our researchers. This valuable opportunity strengthens the intellectual ties between our institutions, consistent with our outstanding research environments."
