University of Belgrade - Faculty of Law
 

Academic and Scientific Cooperation

 

The University of Belgrade Faculty of Law has established worldwide academic and professional relations and cooperation with numerous law schools in Europe, USA and Asia.* In cooperation with the European University Centre of the University of Nancy 2 (France), it has been organizing for several years a postgraduate specialist course in European Union Law – the High European Studies. Over the past few years it has developed prolific relations with various international centres, foundations and organizations that promote the improvement of legal studies, such as the German Organization for Technical Cooperation (GTZ), the German Foundation for the International Legal Cooperation (IRZ), the National Centre for State Courts, whose project The Rule of Law in Serbia is financed by the USAID.  The Faculty has close contacts with other law faculties in Serbia and professional cooperation with the state bodies of the Republic of Serbia, while its professors are authors of numerous laws.

As a result of such extensive international cooperation, many professors and teaching and research assistants spend time at foreign universities as visiting professors, lecturers and researchers, and a significant number of them have acquired their academic degrees at foreign universities. Every year the Faculty of Law hosts dozens of foreign guests, amongst whom are the most distinguished international academics and experts, who deliver numerous lectures and courses to the students of the Faculty**

Following the initiative of the Faculty of Law, some of them have been granted honorary doctorates honoris causa from the University of Belgrade, e.g. Professor Johan Hans Ankum (The University of Amsterdam, Holland), Professor Alan Watson (The University of Georgia, USA), Professor Svetozar (Steve) Pejovitch (the University of Texas A&M, USA), Professor Hiroshi Hokama (Chuo University, Japan), Ramsey Clark (USA), Professor Claude Albert Colliard (the University of Paris1, France).
