Application Deadline: February 15th 2016
Affording international scholars an opportunity to work on their research projects here at the Institute is deemed of particular importance. To this end, a limited number of short-term scholarships (up to a maximum period of four months) are awarded each year. Additionally, the scholarship programme serves to promote personal and institutional contacts with scholars working in the fields of comparative and international private law and thereby continually expand the Institute’s global network.
The research project in question must correspond to the academic interests of the Institute, as only then can it be ensured that scholarship recipients will be able to engage in meaningful academic exchange with other researchers and find relevant literature in our library.
Applicants applying for the current round of scholarship awards are advised that topics presently being researched at the Institute include, in particular, the following:
– Comparative legal methodology
– Partnership law
– Close corporations
– Company valuation law
– Comparative succession law (Europe and other continents)
– International succession law (especially the European Succession Regulation)
– Chinese product liability law – Chinese civil procedure
– Korean family law
