(National, European and international) private law is at the core of our research activities. We strive for high quality scientific, critical research that pays attention to the various domains of private law. Our research program thus strives to study private law in its entirety, as well as pay attention to interrelationships between these areas of law.

Our research program is based on five challenging, coherent research lines, with a strong focus on recent evolutions at the national, European and international level. The research in these research lines is strongly focused on persons and things, as well as on the relationship between persons and things and in between them.
