Sheffield Centre for International and European Law (SCIEL)

Description

The Sheffield Centre for International and European Law (SCIEL) actively engages in research dissemination, collaborates with both domestic and international academic institutions, research centres, and think-tanks, and interacts with governmental and non-governmental organisations. As law and legal issues often transcend national borders in the globalised world, SCIEL's work is of vital importance.

The study of International and European Law has been integral to the Sheffield Law School. Notable past holders of the International Law Chair include Professors J. G. Merrills and Nigel White, while the EU Law Chair was held by Professor Josephine Steiner. SCIEL's mission is to intertwine teaching and scholarship and to influence public debates through its research and engagement. Its areas of focus encompass international and regional human rights law, armed conflict, refugee law, European health law, citizenship, regionalism, international and European constitutional law and theory, dispute resolution, international organisations, economic law, and cyber security.

SCIEL is a collective of scholars with a mutual interest in International and European Law, where they exchange thoughts on their research, teaching, and the dynamic world events that affect their study and society. They disseminate their research to the wider academic community, policy makers, and the public via publications, consultations, and events.

SCIEL's research degree students play an active role within the research centre. They are the promising minds being cultivated to be future leading scholars in International and European Law. SCIEL offers a platform for discussion, mentorship, coaching, and an apprenticeship for academic life.
