Our research is organised across four thematic streams. Each stream addresses the scope and meaning of protection from a significant cluster of existing threats and develops concrete legal tools tailored to these threats. Together, the four research streams build a conceptual and practical infrastructure of law as a crucial means of protection. Additionally, all four research streams are connected through our cross-theme lead for animal and environmental protection.

Our streams

Protection from organised violence and abuse of governmental power

Protection from technology-based harms

Protection from economic harm and abuse of corporate power
