Maastricht Montesquieu Institute (MMI) to be discontinued as of 1 September 2025
In recent years, public law research at the Faculty of Law of Maastricht University has developed and diversified. Research in areas such as European constitutional law, human rights, constitutional theory and Dutch law now takes place within other research groups and institutes, such as the Maastricht Centre for European Law (MCEL), the Maastricht Centre for Human Rights (MCfHR), the Maastricht Centre for Law & Jurisprudence (MCLJ), the Globalisation and Law Network (GLawNet), and the Maastricht Research Centre for Society and Law (MOSaR).
Therefore, the faculty has decided to discontinue the Maastricht Montesquieu Institute (MMI) - which has been active within the faculty since 2008 - as of 1 September 2025 as it has fulfilled its role. The valuable collaboration between the faculty staff and the national Montesquieu Institute will remain unchanged.
The MMI has made a significant contribution to constitutional law research at Maastricht University. Over the years, it has produced a wide range of publications, hosted academic events and supported many PhD candidates. The Faculty of Law looks back with pride on what the MMI has accomplished.
