The Centre for Studies and Research

Introducing the Centre

Since its establishment in 1957, the Centre for Studies and Research in International Law and International Relations begins immediately following the end of the Summer Courses. Each edition of the Centre is devoted to a distinct topic of international law, selected annually by the Curatorium.

Over a period of three weeks, it brings together 12 English-speaking and 12 French-speaking researchers, each addressing a specific aspect of the theme under the guidance of two professors. The research conducted during the session forms part of a collective project, from which the most notable contributions are published in the Academy’s Centre book series.

Through this programme, the Academy seeks to make a further contribution to the study of international law. Participation offers researchers the opportunity to engage in a structured and in-depth legal analysis of subjects of international relevance, and to contribute to a publication of recognised academic standing, an asset of particular value to those engaged in or intending to pursue an academic career.

Registration for the Centre 2026 is now closed.
