Sarah Schoenmaekers appointed Professor of European Economic Law

The Executive Board has appointed prof. dr. Sarah Schoenmaekers as Professor of European Economic Law  with effect from 1 February 2025.

Sarah's chair will focus on the content and developments in the field of European economic law, broadly defined. In particular, it will emphasise the increasingly close relationship between rules adopted on the basis of economic law and policy areas that are not primarily economic in nature, such as environmental, cultural and international policy. The Chair will be embedded in the European Law department and will link to the research of the Maastricht Centre for European Law (MCEL) and the Glaw-net research group.

Sarah is currently Associate Professor at our faculty  and, since November 2020, she is also Programme Director of our  ten Master's programmes. She is also Endowed Professor of European Law, Culturally Corrected Market Economics at the Open University and Professor of Construction Law at UHasselt. Since defending her doctoral thesis (2010), Sarah's publications have consistently focused on European economic law in the broadest sense.
