University of Copenhagen - CEVIA

With over 40,000 students and more than 9,000 employees, the University of Copenhagen is the largest institution of research and education in Denmark. The purpose of the University is to ’conduct research and provide further education to the highest academic level’. The Faculty of Law works towards creating greater knowledge of national and international law. Through a researchbased education the Faculty ensures that its legal graduates have the skills needed to analyse and contribute to interdisciplinary and problem-oriented tasks in both the private and the public sectors at home and abroad. The Faculty offers a strong international environment and is therefore able to attract academic staff from all over the world. Many of these have work and research experience from institutions like the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).The central aim of CEVIA - Centre for Enterprise Liability: Private-public law perspectives, is to elucidate the interplay between the public law and private law rules and perspectives in relation to enterprise liability. CEVIA conducts research within the field of private and public enterprise liability as an interdisciplinary legal research field. CEVIA, represented by Vibe Ulfbeck, will contribute to the SMART project with at least one article on the topic of Supply Chain Liability and by supervising a PhD student on a project concerning the same topic.
