Why choose LCEL?

We bring together scholars from different legal backgrounds to study European law with openness and independence. Our work combines rigorous scholarship with real-world relevance, addressing the challenges shaping Europe today.

Situated steps away from the Court of Justice of the European Union and other key EU institutions, our Centre offers an unparalleled environment to observe, analyse and engage with European law where it is made and applied.

This unique proximity deepens our research, strengthens our networks and connects our academic community directly to the heart of EU legal development.
