Mission & Goals
The British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL) combines a world-class, global applied research institute mind-set with a charitable ethos to serve and advance the disciplines of international law, comparative law, and the rule of law. Our research has real-world impact, influencing governments and international organisations, legislators, policy makers, businesses and others; it is augmented by our discussion sessions, training programmes, conferences, specialist forums, and our prestigious academic journal, the International and Comparative Law Quarterly. We embrace a multi-disciplinary approach with international and comparative perspectives. We have a convening role and respond to critical, emerging legal issues.
EU Legislative Interests
BIICL is a neutral academic institution which engages with policy makers such as the European Commission from time to time, but only to further our mutual understanding on policy objectives. BIICL does not carry out any lobbying. We are applying to register because we sometimes host roundtable discussions and meetings in Brussels and may often have EU officials speaking at these roundtables. EU officials have required that we are listed in the Transparency Register if they are going to speak at our events, even though we are not a lobbying organisation.
Communication Activities
Events, publications, research projects. Please find below some links to events, with further details available on our website: https://www.biicl.org/events/11961/article-102-tfeu-a-discussion-with-the-european-commission-on-the-draft-exclusionary-guidelines https://www.biicl.org/events/11843/the-future-of-article-102-tfeu https://www.biicl.org/events/11843/the-future-of-article-102-tfeu https://www.biicl.org/events/12048/litigation-funding-at-the-crossroads-reviewing-new-european-and-uk-approaches-to-third-party-funding https://www.biicl.org/events/12046/the-european-commissions-review-of-the-dma-two-years-in.
