Within my working group, there is a strong emphasis on international law of the sea and marine environmental protection. Likewise, the question of human rights in the context of climate change and the law of the sea is being explored. More specifically, the effects of climate change on the ocean, but also the role the ocean can play in mitigation of and adaptation to climate change, are a focus of our research. Within several third-party funded projects, questions of mCDR and future pathways for coastal environments (e.g., the Wadden Sea) are explored.
About us:
The Walther Schücking Institute is part of Kiel University Law School, it has three directors, who are pecialized in Public International Law, covering a broad range of fields and topics. Our library is located within the Institute’s premises. With around 25 people engaged in research on different career levels, we offer a lively atmosphere to discuss research projects. The working group around Nele Matz-Lück has a particular emphasis on the law of the sea, environmental law and climate change but also covers different aspects of e.g. human rights. We offer space in our guest researchers offices, if available, or a reserved desk in our library. There are opportunities to present research in different settings.
Present their own research projects or research agenda with a group of researchers who are at different stages of their respective careers, and develop a concept for a project or publication, and broaden their network.
We provide:
We offer a good networking environment, some basic mentoring, as well as permanent access to our library for the duration of the stay and to electronic resources.
We expect:
Profound knowledge of public international law or marine/environmental policy, if the research has an interdisciplinary scope and the secondee wants to explore the legal side of questions concerning marine policy, international law and climate change.
