Visitors to the Centre
The Commercial Law Centre welcomes visiting researchers for visits up to one term, to advance research on a project relating to commercial law. Applications by academics are received on a rolling basis, and can be made by email to Sophie Gibson (clc@hmc.ox.ac.uk). They should include an up-to-date curriculum vitae and a proposal for the work to be carried out in Oxford. PhD students can visit the Centre as a Junior Academic Visitor and applications for this programme are assessed in gathered fields. The Centre can also facilitate research visits by judges.
