Research Associates

One of CERIL's objectives is to involve younger academic talent in the projects undertaken by CERIL's Working Parties. In recent years, several Research Associates have collaborated in various projects of our Working Parties. CERIL welcomes applications of interest for the CERIL Research Associateship.

A Research Associate will work alongside the Conferees, comprised of lawyers, law professors and (insolvency) judges. The Conferees organise their activities in various Working Parties, that are focused on a specific topic. A Research Associate will be appointed to a Working Party on either an ongoing or a new project.

All CERIL projects are, in particular, geared toward advising the European Union institutions as well as its Member States, European countries and other interested institutions. This may regard technical and policy issues relating to restructuring and insolvency laws, regulation and practice and any related laws. The project results are, once adopted, endorsed as a CERIL Statement and/or Report. CERIL promotes the engagement of Research Associates in these activities.
