Exeter Centre for Environmental Law (ExCEL)

Description

The Exeter Centre for Environmental Law (ExCEL) was established at the end of 2021 to stimulate interdisciplinary internal partnerships with centres within the University. The purpose of ExCEL is to provide an intellectual environment to create a Worldwide Environmental Law and Policy Research Network with international academic partners, such as Duke, QUEX, and CUHK. In parallel, it is aimed to engage with international, national, and local stakeholders. In addition to being an attraction centre for law researchers willing to conduct their research in Cornwall, it is also one of the goals of ExCEL to support members with achieving impact through policy workshops and training, as well as PR and marketing.

ExCEL research focuses on:

• promoting the study and development of environmental, climate, and marine law and policy;
• stimulate debate, collaboration, and networks in response to the most pressing needs of international, European, and local environmental matters; and
• support teaching and training in the fields of environmental, climate, and marine law.

ExCEL work is not merely based on legal discipline, but also has an interdisciplinary focus. Many of its members are from different disciplines and have first-hand experience related to environmental issues since ExCEL intends to leverage interdisciplinary network to produce research based on existing research in other disciplines. Accordingly, it is aimed to provide opportunities for all ECRs and postgraduates to be involved in producing outputs and funded projects by giving members advice on funding options and potential links and partners.

Members of the Centre conduct research for a future-proof environmental governance. Researchers aim to contribute to the solution of international, national, and local environmental issues. In addition to build an efficient academic network as well as strong cooperation between the academia and stakeholders, they publish leading articles and reports concerning about current affairs.They actively participate in the work of international professional organizations and contribute to the events across the world. They convene various workshops on critical topics, which are open to academicians and stakeholders so that problems and potential solutions can be discussed from a holistic perspective.

The centre has close links with the Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) and Law and Business Cornwall (LAB/C) and is open to external researchers or practitioners who are interested in developing work in ExCEL research areas
