A platform of expertise in ‘Law and Society’, created at UNIL A platform of expertise in ‘Law and Society’, created at UNIL =============================================================== CIVIS Highlights 10 de junio de 2024 The Interfaculty Initiative on Law and Society (IDES), created by the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences and the Faculty of Law, Criminal Justice, and Public Administration of the University of Lausanne (UNIL) was created to establish strong links with societal actors involved in the legal and judicial system by promoting collaborative research. ![](/storage/files/adobestock-107155820.jpeg) © UNIL The initiative brings together a network of researchers from UNIL and other academic institutions. The interdisciplinary approach promoted by the IDES draws on various disciplines and fields of research: law, sociology, political science, anthropology, gender studies, psychology, criminology, forensic sciences etc., analysing the relationships between law and society. > *Any researcher who is part of the UNIL academic community can become a member of IDES, which also seeks to welcome researchers working in other Higher Education institutions or academic entities",* explains Sophie Weerts, Professor of Public Law and Regulation (FDCA). Building links --------------- Establishing strong links with societal actors involved in the legal and judicial system is also part of the aims of IDES, that carries out different types of activities such as animation of collaborative research networks by theme, for actors in the judicial and politico-administrative chain, academic conferences, as well as a doctoral school on 'Law and Society' methodologies and the development of international partnerships. > *We aim to strengthen exchanges and collaborations with professional and institutional legal actors in Switzerland and internationally. We will notably develop partnerships with comparable research networks in Europe and the United States",* details Eléonore Lépinard, Professor of Gender Studies (SSP). Context ------- From an interdisciplinary perspective, researchers in the field of 'Law and Society' seek to understand how law, as a normative system, interacts with and is shaped by social norms, values, institutions, and social and political actors. The first conference of the Swiss "Law & Society" Network, gathering 300 researchers at UNIL, demonstrated the interest and need to institutionalise this dynamic field of research within the Swiss context. **Find out more from the [original story, in French](https://news.unil.ch/display/1714648292623).** ### *Other Highlights this month:* *[550 years since the first mention of the University of Tübingen](https://civis.eu/es/the-civis-newsroom#https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/550-years-since-the-first-mention-of-the-university-of-tubingen)* *[The Global Forum on Democracy hosted by the University of Bucharest](https://civis.eu/es/the-civis-newsroom#https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/the-global-forum-on-democracy-hosted-by-the-university-of-bucharest)* Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/unil-march-800x600.jpg?token=d8f751c5dd64924dd2e37edbb187d325)The Swiss ski mountaineering team, supported by UNIL's researchers for this year's Olympic Games CIVIS Highlights 3 de marzo de 2026 ](https://civis.eu/es/the-civis-newsroom/the-swiss-ski-mountaineering-team-supported-by-unil-s-researchers-for-this-year-s-olympic-games) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/post-it-risks-800x600.jpg?token=3f32ba7f3ab0220e88eeac41defdd8bf)Innovative micro-credential for professionals on AI for the workplace launched by CIVIS Learn 10 de febrero de 2026 ](https://civis.eu/es/the-civis-newsroom/civis-micro-credentials-ai-and-work-supporting-teams-through-change) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/img-4583-800x600.jpg?token=9b1616d14128b09af2bc51cc05d57631)UNIL empowers master’s students to co-create research with partners in the field abroad CIVIS Highlights 17 de octubre de 2025 ](https://civis.eu/es/the-civis-newsroom/unil-empowers-master-s-students-to-co-create-research-with-partners-in-the-field-abroad) [Descubra todas nuestras historias](https://civis.eu/es/the-civis-newsroom) [ What can Mediterranean universities do about climate change? ](< https://civis.eu/es/the-civis-newsroom/what-can-mediterranean-universities-do-about-climate-change >) [ The Global Forum on Democracy hosted by the University of Bucharest ](< https://civis.eu/es/the-civis-newsroom/the-global-forum-on-democracy-hosted-by-the-university-of-bucharest >) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
