European Centre for Constitutional Research is an interdisciplinary unit with three primary research areas: comparative constitutionalism, challenges to the contemporary constitutional democracies and the problem of internationalization of the constitutional and legal systems in the European states. Our basic activities include participation in the international research and grant programmes, as well as organization of academic events in Łódź, Warsaw and Brussels. ECCR cooperates with a number of international research institutions, such as the European University Institute in Florence, Faculty of Law at the New York University or the European Centre at the Free University of Brussels.
In the framework of “Crossroads” project, our Centre translates into Polish and publishes as “working papers” important academic texts from other languages in order to facilitate the knowledge transfer between Central and Western Europe.
