In December 2014 the Central Board of Maastricht University approved of the creation of a new inter-faculty centre: the Maastricht Centre for Research on Europe. This centre is a joint initiative emanating from the Faculty of Law (FL) (Professors Claes, De Witte, Heringa and Vos) and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS) (Professors Blom, Conzelmann, Christiansen, Neuhold, Patel and Vanhoonacker) of Maastricht University.
It comprises more than 60 researchers in the fields of European law, governance, and history covering a large number of sub-fields within those disciplines. The Centre brings together the vast expertise on European integration that exists within the two Faculties, with a view to facilitating new and innovative research in specific topical areas. It links three existing institutes within the Faculties: the Maastricht Centre for European Governance (FASoS), the Maastricht Centre for European Law (FL), and the Montesquieu Institute Maastricht (FL/FASoS).
