The EIEL module fosters the publication and dissemination of the results of academic research on the implementation of European and international environmental law and the regulation of emerging environmental problems.
The EIEL publications contribute to give visibility to the module and establish it as a best practice in the study and research of European environmental law and policy.
They promote debate on the module’s core themes among the research community, while simultaneously providing students and scholars with valuable resources that could be used as primary or supplementary reading materials and/or in academic research.
As part of the research efforts that will go into the preparation of the module, the EIEL team specifically plans to release at least two academic publications. The first publication will be a journal article, to be published in a peer-reviewed specialistic journal. The second publication will consist of an edited volume which will represent the culmination of the research and dissemination activities of the EIEL module, gathering the contributions of the different experts and partner organisations that will participate in various ways during its implementation.
