Visiting researchers and lecturers Law, Economics and Governance

At Utrecht University's Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance, we welcome many visiting researchers  and lecturers throughout the year. The duration of such visits vary from a few weeks to a few years (e.g. for a PhD project).

How to apply for a visit

Are you interested in coming to our faculty on a research visit or as visiting lecturer? Then please fill out our research/lecture visit form. This does not apply for researchers or students interested in a full PhD at Utrecht University. Please read more about research phd tracks.

You have to realise that a research visit or visit as lecturer must be planned ahead in order to allow sufficient time for practical matters such as accommodation and immigration matters. For EU citizens this will take at least 4 months and for non-EU citizens at least 6 months.Your request will be reviewed by the department to which you are applying.

Please note that this form is not an official application procedure, but merely a way to direct your request to the department that seems to have the closest academic match. The department will inform you about the review of your request.
