Empirical Research into Institutions for Conflict Resolution (ERI) was a research cluster within the Department of Law at Utrecht University from 2019 to 2025. It was established in response to the Sector Plan for Law and two themes within it: Institutions for Conflict Resolution (COI) and Empirical Legal Studies (ELS), combined as ERI.
ERI conducted research into conflict resolution institutions in a changing constitutional state, including both “classical” legal research and empirical research. The Empirical Legal Studies (ELS) Lab can be regarded as a continuation of ERI.
