The CRIDES, a Centre for Interdisciplinary research on business law issues, aims to analyse, on the one hand, the role of law in business and its environment and, on the other hand, the function of business in society .
This study relies on the belief that legal rules must be understood in context, according to the "law and society" approach.
The centre brings together four research groups dealing with i) economic and company law, ii) intellectual property and digital law, iii) social and labor law (Atelier SociAL) and iv) tax law.

It aims to offer young researchers and more experienced scholars a forum where to discuss five to six papers every year in different cities on all continents. Each paper is discussed by an interdisciplinary and intercontinental panel whose members are leading tax academics, administrators, policymakers and practitioners.
The following institutions support the initiative : Chinese University of Hong Kong and Wuhan University (People's Republic of China), London School of Economics (United Kingdom), UC Louvain (Belgium), University of Melbourne (Australia), University of Pretoria (South Africa), Universidad Torcuato Di Tella (Argentina), National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (India) and New York University (United States of America).

The Atelier de droit social of the UCLouvain in a partnership with the School of European Studies, UClouvain, Louvain-La-Neuve, the Institut d’études européennes ULB, Bruxelles and the Institute for European Studies, USaintLouis, Brussels, will organize an academic workshop, at the Fondation universitaire of Brussels.
As suggested to us by Silvia Borelli of the University of Ferrara, we will mould this workshop on the pre-existing format of a long standing Italian tradition of facilitating a dialogue between academia and the Italian Constitutional Court (http://www.amicuscuriae.it/). It is worthwhile to expand this tradition to cases which come up before the CJEU.
