Selection Criteria:

Selection will primarily be based on the strength of the applicants’ research proposal, their overall contribution to their area of expertise, and how much they will benefit from visiting the ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûFaculty of Laws. Applicants must state clearly in their application the research they plan to undertake while at UCL.

They will be given office space (with computer and telephone) in Bentham House, the Faculty’s historic building, which is currently being redeveloped. They will be able to participate in the Faculty’s events, such as staff seminars, workshops, conferences, public lectures etc. They will receive administrative support and have access to the ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûlibrary and the library of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (IALS).
