Research interest
Research Group for Education-Law-Pedagogy, Founding member – Head of Research Group
The research group explores the interrelationship and interplay between education and law, pedagogy, education sciences, and law in an inter- and multidisciplinary approach. The focus of its interest is law as the subject and framework of educational activity. In this context, we examine the teaching of law especially to non-lawyers and the pedagogy thereof.

MARIHE (Master in Research in Higher Education)
The project is supported by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union (EU) under the action of an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) (ERASMUS-EDU-2024-PEX-EMJM-MOB - ERASMUS2027 - 101180266). Our consortium includes: Danube University Krems/Austria (coordinator), University of Tampere/Finland, Beijing Normal University/China, Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences/Germany, Eötvös Loránd University/Hungary, University of Aveiro/Portugal and Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (deemed to be University)/India.
Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees aim to foster excellence, innovation, and internationalisation in HEIs; to boost the attractiveness of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and support the EU's external action in the field of higher education; and to improve the level of competences and skills of Master graduates and their employability. The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) manages EU funding for education, culture, audiovisual, sport, citizenship and volunteering; among them the action of Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees.

All Inc! project promotes inclusive education by bringing together pupils, (trainee) teachers and the wider school community to build LGBT+ friendly schools. All Inc! is active in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Poland, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. In each country, a university and secondary school will partner with pupils to co-create visions for LGBT+ friendly schools and supporting ‘tools for schools’. A virtual ‘human library’ will be built to share LGBT+ stories with the wider school community, and with young people across Europe.
