Short History
The Center for European Legal Studies (CESL) is a scientific research unit, without legal personality, a department of the Legal Research Institute of the Romanian Academy, established by the decision of the Presidium of the Romanian Academy of 30 July 2008.
CELS’s ideas are the achievement of fundamental and applied research, as well as the dissemination of information through the development of debates in the field of European law.
The openness shown by CELS can be found in the topics addressed during the debates and conferences, partnerships with publishing houses from the country and abroad in order to promote young researchers and the analyzes of authors with scientific experience, as well as the interdisciplinary character of the promoted projects. Current programs of the Center for European Legal Studies: „Interpretation and application of European Union law by Romanian courts” (RomaniaEULaw); „Culture of European law”, „European consultations”, „JurisClasor ECDO”, „Research methodology in European Union law”, „Data protection and new technologies” „European business law” as well as a Romanian language translation project of some significant papers and books by European Union law.
