The Institute of European Law was founded in 1990 and works on the basis of a statute approved by the Faculty Board of the Law Faculty (SU) on 22 January 1990 and by the Rector of Stockholm University on 15 February 1990. According to the Statute the Institute’s objective is to promote research and education in European Law in general, and in European Community/Union Law, in particular. According to Article 3 of the Statute, the Institute shall fulfill its objectives by:
The Institute shall strive to cooperate with educational institutions, associations, organizations and public authorities active in the Institute’s field of activity.
The Institute’s Board for the period from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017 consisted of the following members: Prof. Petter Asp (SU), Prof. Antonina Bakardjieva Engelbrekt (SU), Prof. Ulf Bernitz (SU), Elisabeth Eklund (Delphi), Ass. Professor Hedvig Lokrantz Bernitz (SU), Olivier Lindén (Kommerskollegium) and Ass. Professor Sideek Seyad Mohamed (SU).
Hedvig Lokrantz Bernitz did not continue her engagement in the Board after 1 July 2016 due to personal reasons. Björn Lundqvist (Ass. Professor, SU) was appointed as a new member of the Board starting from 1 July 2016 and until the end of the current mandate, 30 June 2017.
Antonina Bakardjieva Engelbrekt has acted as the Institute Director and Chair of the Institute’s Board. Doctoral Candidate Lovorka Jonic Kapnias has until the Spring Term of 2016 acted as the Institute’s secretary.
During 2015-206 the following persons have been involved in the Institute’s activities.
The researchers at the Institute have been working with various research project supported by external research grants.
Antonina Bakardjieva Engelbrekt is since the beginning of 2015 and until 2018 holder of the Torsten and Ragnar Söderberg Chair of Legal Science for a project on the decentralized enforcement of Internal Market Law with particular focus on network governance. She was during the Spring Term of 2016 affiliated as Guest Professor to Keio University, Tokyo.
Sideek Seyad Mohammed is holder of a four-year Wallenberg Foundation Grant for a project on the Banking Union. He was from October 2014 taking on sabbatical stay at Oxford University.
Jaan Paju defended successfully his doctoral thesis in April 2015 under the title “Suverenitätserosion?” (Supervisor: Ulf Bernitz). The project was funded by the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. He was during the academic 2015/2016 the SCCL post doc fellow at Oxford University.
Several new doctoral candidates have joined the Institute. Gloria Golmohammadi started as a new doctoral student at the Department from September 2015 with a project on the legal framework of participation and consultation in the EU and Swedish legislative process. The project bears the title “Participation in EU law-making through consultation: achieving coherence”. Supervisors are Antonina Bakardjieva Engelbrekt and Mauro Zamboni. Markus Skarpsvärd started as a Doctoral Candidate in EU Competition Law with external funding, with professor Lars Henriksson (Stockholm School of Economics) as supervisor. Niousha Nademi was admitted as doctoral candidate at the Department with a project on Competition Law in the New Economy, funded by the Swedish Competition Agency, with Björn Lundqvist as supervisor.
Helene Anderson (expected to defend her PhD project in early 2017), in cooperation with Ulf Bernitz, received recently funding from the Swedish Competition Agency for a three-year post-doc project on “Access to the European Commission's Files in Cartel Cases - Promoting or Preventing Effective Enforcement of the European Competition Rules?”.
Björn Lundqvist has received mandate to organize the next ASCOLA (Academic Society for Competition Law) conference at Stockholm University. For this purpose funding has been obtained from the Swedish Competition Agency. The conference will take place on 15-17 June 2016. Call for papers has already been sent out.
The following doctoral projects are actively pursued by co-workers of the Institute:
The most important development concerning the education in EU Law at the Department is the resuming of the master program in EU law after a considerable reform and a lengthy process of quality screening and evaluation. The program now offers more clearly a specialization in European Economic Law. It contains an introductory course on EU Economic Law from a Constitutional Perspective (15 ECTS), followed by a choice between three elective courses (EU Competition Law, EU Banking and Financial Law and Internal Market Law and its Social Dimension, 15 ECTS each). In the Spring Term students are taking a course in EU Legal Methods in Research and Practice (15 ECTS). The course comprises a moot court and seminars on research methodology and includes a study trip to Brussels and Luxembourg. The program ends with a Master Thesis in EU Law (15 ECTS). Currently the first group of some 25 students is taking the reformed program. Students have very diverse international background and the first preliminary evaluations are positive.
The master program has served as basis to resume the participation of the Law Faculty in the annual European Moot Court Competition after the previous course on EU Procedural Law had been wound down. A team has this year been formed and is being coached by a group of senior researchers and younger doctoral students.
Several elective courses in EU law are currently offered to students from the Swedish law program and Erasmus students. The elective courses of the master program are also offered as elective courses, which by using some synergies is supposed to provide a cost-efficient solution. The list of courses is the following:
Fall Term B period:
Spring Term A period
Spring Term B period
The undergraduate course in EU law (7.5 ECTS) is given as before during the first term of the law education. Course Director during 2015-2016 has been Claes Granmar.
According to the Law Department’s policy all specialized libraries receive an annual sum of 40.000,00 SEK for books and library maintenance. In the period 2015-2016 many new titles were purchased. The Institute reduced its subscription to journals, given the availability of electronic databases.
The Library has a digital catalogue where search in the library books can be carried out.
The Institute’s webpage has been maintained in a rather minimalist manner. Information on seminar activities was updated but more ambitious upgrade has so far not been carried out due to lack of resources.
During 2015 and 2016 the Institute has received financial support from the Cassel foundation for a seminar series in EU law. The following seminars have been organized:
A more informal series of luncheon meetings discussing topical EU law cases (so called “case sessions” has been initiated by Helene Andersson following up on an earlier initiative by Vladimir Bastidas. The meetings have been held a few times per semester.
Members of the Institute are also participating in an informal Internal Market discussion group with members from Uppsala University, Swedish Foreign Ministry, the National Board of Trade (Kommerskollegium), etc.
