Esther Arroyo Amayuelas (Chair holder)
The objective of the Chair is to promote the teaching and investigation of European Private Law. In particular, the Chair aims to increase the amount of private law of the European Union imparted in courses and seminars in the Faculty of Law and other universities, whether obligatory or optional, and both at graduate or postgraduate level. The Chair seeks to extend analysis of private European law in universities both in and outside Europe, both in situ and on-line, and thus to take advantage of virtual resources on-line.
Hence the Chair seeks to contribute towards the evaluation of problems related to European private law, and to increase the understanding of the aquis communautaire and the impact with national rights, while underlining the important rôle which private law has in achieving a Single European Market.
Such initiatives are open not only to students, young researchers and teachers, both of university and secondary school level, but also to professionals of this sector, and collaboration is offered to those of the various institutional levels, of the third sector, of consumer defence entities and with the Administration.
