Programme Description

In the winter semester 2023/24 (beginning: 01 October 2023), the newly founded Joachim Herz Doctoral School will start its structured Ph.D. programme at Leuphana University Lüneburg. The programme is funded by the Joachim Herz Foundation. The Joachim Herz Doctoral School invites graduates of law (and related social science disciplines) to apply for scholarships for the structured Ph.D. programme on Law and Transformation. Up to nine Ph.D. scholarships will be available. It is equally possible to participate without a scholarship. Research focus: The Ph.D. programme deals with fundamental questions in jurisprudence that arise from societal transformations and – connected to this – from the transformations of law itself. Phenomena such as digitalisation, constant social change as a result of demographic changes, as well as various crises and conflicts, such as the Coronavirus pandemic, the climate crisis, or the Ukraine War, pose immense challenges to the legal system. They not only require an adaptation of the law, but also lead to a change of its role. Against this backdrop, research on the topics of — Digitalisation/Digitality and Law, — Climate Change/Decarbonisation and Law, — (Inter-)National Conflicts and Law, and — Law as a Decisive Factor in Transformations are particularly welcome. The focus of the research programme on these issues serves the goal of making a sustainable contribution to the future viability of democratic societies and determining the role of law in dealing with pressing contemporary issues and the permanent demands of transformation. Further information on the research programme of the Joachim Herz Doctoral School is available at https: // www. leuphana.de/en/institutes/lls/joachim-herz- doctoral-school-of-law.html.
