4 Research Research Groups & Chairs The core research domain of the Personal Rights and Property Rights (PR²) Research Group is private (international) law. The research programme is subdivided into four related lines of research: personality rights, contractualisation, liability & accountability, and kinship studies. The focus of the research programme lies on the socio-legal phenomenon of private ordering in private (international) law. The content is driven by the concepts of multi-level governance and globalisation, while the research methods are driven by socio-legal studies. Antwerp Health Law & Ethics Chair (AHLEC) This chair encourages independent, high-quality and critical research in the field of health law and ethics, through PhDs, publications and recommendations. In addition, this chair offers modular post-academic training that is open to physicians, pharmacists, nurses, paramedics, healthcare staff and executives, the insurance sector, lawyers, hospital legal counsels, magistrates, government officials and students. Antwerp Liability & Insurance Chair (ALLIC) Through PhDs, publications and recommendations, this chair stimulates independent, high-quality and critical research into liability and insurance law. The post-academic training offered through this chair is aimed at the insurance sector, lawyers, magistrates, government officials and students. Conferences, study evenings and seminars are also organised, serving as an academic platform for interdisciplinary debate on topics related to liability and insurance law. Animals and Law Chair This chair, funded by a private patron, seeks to identify an overarching, normative principle governing our relation to animals and to operationalise it as a set of rules. Both the ethical and comparative law perspectives of animal law are covered and the chair oversees that policy-supporting research is carried out on behalf of the Flemish government with regard to the decision tree for administrative sanctions for violations of animal welfare legislation. The chair also offers an inter-faculty and inter- university series of animal rights courses, and aims to pool its expertise with that of other universities to organise activities for a wider audience, such as debates and training activities.
