Centre of European Law

The Centre of European Law (CEL) has sought to provide leadership in the scholarly research and teaching of European law since its establishment in 1974. Located in Somerset House East Wing in the heart of legal London, the Centre is widely regarded as being one of the preeminent academic institutions of its kind anywhere in the world.

Part of that prestige comes from the CEL’s impact, which extends well beyond academia. Our researchers regularly engage with national and regional governments, NGOs, legal professionals, and policy‑making bodies. We also deliver world‑class teaching across undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional development programmes.

By bringing together a diverse community of scholars, practitioners, officials and students, the Centre plays a vital role in the dissemination of knowledge and understanding of many different areas of European law. Our core objective of providing world-leading research and teaching remain unchanged following the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union.
