Competence Network Environmental Law

Competence Network Environmental Law (KomUR)

The Competence Network Future Challenges of Environmental Law (KomUR) was established as a joint project by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the Research for Sustainability (FONA³) funding program. It encompasses the implementation of a total of 14 environmental law doctorates at six German universities between 2020 and 2022. The project’s focus is on national and international networking through a series of workshops, conferences, research visits, and publications.

The objective of KomUR is to examine the potential for further development of environmental law in order to effectively implement sustainability goals. The objects of investigation are German, European and international law. It is anticipated that innovative approaches will be developed particularly through comparative studies.

Professor Dr. Sabine Schlacke is a partner in the KomUR project.
