Mapping International Law in Europe

Europe has a longstanding and thriving international legal research culture. The challenge for the future is to ensure that researchers throughout Europe are able to collaborate more easily with their counterparts in other countries, to get a better idea of research in progress elsewhere, and to be able to contact their peers in other parts of Europe. The European Society of International Law is ideally placed to contribute to these challenges and to encourage synergies among the many national institutions in Europe engaged in international legal research.

The Mapping International Law in Europe (MILE) project provides a powerful search tool and aims to serve as a database of all institutions involved in international law research in Europe. National Rapporteurs, mostly young international law scholars from all over Europe, have been carefully selected to make this information available, expand upon it and keep it up to date.

Beta notice: The database is currently still under development. While it is fully functional, the depth and breadth of information still varies considerably across different countries. At this stage we have nearly complete information for some countries, whereas in others we have less complete entries or none at all. Fortunately, one of the powerful features of the database is that it is designed to grow continuously. You can help the project by submitting new, more complete, or updated information for your institution. Please contact mapping@esil-sedi.eu to receive an information form.

For those countries where no National Rapporteur is indicated, the Society welcomes applications by qualified volunteers. Please write to mapping@esil-sedi.eu to apply.
