Establishing connections with our faculty and other fellows is one main intention of our Fellowship Programme - at events, social activities and over lunch.
In that vein, the REWI Fellows of spring 2026 mingled over lunch discussing their respective research topics and connecting regarding their shared experience as a REWI Fellow at the Faculty of Law at the University of Graz and planned further exchanges and activities together. Senior Land Steiermark Fellow Professor David Mangan, Maynooth University, Irland: “Thank you for hosting the lunch. I hoped to convey that the program you run is important and beneficial to all involved.”
