All research centres are integrated in the ARILS, but have a large autonomy and have primary responsibility for the research conducted in their respective fields of expertise. The research centres comprise the larger part of the research capacity of ARILS, with some research being carried out outside these centres.

The core of ARILS consists of these research centres:

  1. Amsterdam Centre for European Law and Governance (ACELG)
  2. Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies/Hugo Sinzheimer Institute (AIAS-HSI)
  3. Amsterdam Center for International Law (ACIL)
  4. Amsterdam Center for Transformative Private Law (ACT)
  5. Institute for Information Law (IViR)
  6. Law Centre for Health & Life (LCHL)
  7. Amsterdam Center for Law & Economics (ACLE)
  8. Amsterdam Centre for Tax Law (ACTL)
  9. Amsterdam Center for Criminal Justice (ACCJ)
  10. Paul Scholten Centre for Jurisprudence (PSC)
  11. Amsterdam Centre for Constitutional Culture & Democratic Governance (ACCu)

Governance

ARILS is headed by a Research Director who is accountable to the dean and entrusted by the Dean with responsibility for the research carried out within the Institute.

A research director heads each RPA and research centre within ARILS. Together with the dean, the ARILS research director and a PhD representative, the directors of research centres form the Research Council. The Research Council is concerned with the preparation and implementation of the Amsterdam Law School’s research policy.
