General Information Maastricht Prize of International Law
The Faculty of Law of Maastricht University has taken over The Hague Prize for International Law. Thereby, the prize is renamed the Maastricht Prize for International Law. With a view to continuing the prize, the university will collaborate with the municipality of Maastricht. The prize will be placed under the Limburg University Fund / SWOL, a foundation connected to Maastricht University.
The prize will consist of two separate prizes. The main prize will aim at senior academics and awarded for an outstanding contribution in either public or private international law. This prize will be awarded every five years. The prize will carry a financial award of 10,000 Euros.
In those years when the main prize is not awarded, the junior prize will be awarded to promising younger academics in the field of human rights. This prize will carry a financial award of 3,000 Euros.
The prize will be awarded in Maastricht.
The main prize will be awarded for the first time on 8 December 2016; the junior prize in 2018.

Governing or Governed by Digital Platforms? Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Constitutionalism, the EU, and Corporate Power
Digital platforms and content moderation raise complex political, legal, and empirical questions. These challenges arise from platforms' global reach and the intertwined relationship between state power and corporate power, where the latter profits from forms of information capitalism. Recently, the EU has adopted various regulations to mitigate the risks and harms associated with platforms and seeks to establish itself as a global standard-setting power in the digital domain. Through regulatory packages such as the Digital Services Act, AI Act, and Digital Markets Act, the EU aims to foster a human-centric, rights-driven, and trustworthy online environment.
