Publications
If there is a single, central activity that typifies METRO, it is the institute's capacity for groundbreaking research publications. METRO publishes, maintains, collaborates on, and produces analyses of, a large volume of academic publications, from the institute's own books, papers, reports, and theses to the Ius Commune Casebooks, the Ius Commune Europaeum Books, the Maastricht Journal and UM's Dovenschmidt Quarterly.
