New website - Forms of Life and Legal Integration in Europe (FOLIE)

We are pleased to announce that the Chair of Excellence Forms of Life and Legal Integration in Europe (FOLIE), directed by Loïc Azoulai, has now a website: http://www.sciencespo.fr/folie/. You will find on it information about the research project, its team members and its activities. 

FOLIE aims at providing a richer understanding and a deeper critique of the European Union's project, by exploring the ways in which forms of social life are fashioned by European law. Its main objective is to tackle the role of EU law in the construction of complex sets of social relations pertaining to the family, the market, the nation and other areas of social life.

More information about the group's upcoming activities will be available soon on the website.

Obituary: Professor Roger Blanpain died on 11 October 2016

Professor Roger Blanpain died on 11 October 2016

Professor Blanpain suffered from health problems since quite a while and he ultimately had to give up the struggle. He died in the hospital in Leuven on 11 October 2016. He would have become 84 years old within a couple of weeks.

Roger Blanpain (born in Belgium, Geeraardsbergen, 5 November 1932) studied law at the University of Leuven, Belgium. In Leuven, he obtained his doctoraal degree in law  in 1956. In 1957 he obtained a Master of Arts degree at Columbia University, New York.

In 1961, Blanpain became assistant and later professor at the Law Faculty of the University of Leuven where he held the chair in labour law until 1998. His academic work covered Belgian, European, international and comparative labour law.

Besides his teaching, Roger Blanpain took up various functions. He was dean of the law faculty, member of the Board of Directors of the University of Leuven, member of the Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences, and president of the Leuven law alumni-society. He was a Belgian senator between 1987 and 1989.

  

Roger Blanpain was one of the founding fathers and later president of the International Society for Labour Law and Social Security Law and the International Industrial Relations Association (now ILERA). He was visiting professor at various prestigious universities around the world.
