Scientific research projects
Over half of a centiury of legal studies in Rijeka, the PRAVRI has been at the forefront of theoretical and applied research on national and international levels. We have demonstrated openness in adapting to everchanging circumstances in which research and education institutions function nowadays, as well as in embracing new competitive financing models. Today, our academic staff consists of leading experts in various subject areas, ranging from consumer protection to protection of persons with mental disorders, from online liability to state liability, from cross-border enforcement of judgments to enforcement of human rights, from financial market regulation to sports industry regulation.
The Faculty continues to attract funding for conducting relevant research and innovation in law and law-related areas. The most significant ongoing international projects in which the Faculty participates deal with contemporary challenges posed to the European Union legislation and its application in the Member States.
