Sadly, my year at Cologne ends.

It's been an amazing experience to visit the Cologne Center for International History and Law @chlcologne.bsky.social, and a privilege to inaugurate the Kelsen Visiting Professorship there. Anyone working on these subjects should follow this exciting new Center!

Laut Rektor Mukherjee handele es sich um ein „hochkompetitives Verfahren“. Wichtig sei, dass die gesamte Hochschule den Antrag mittrage.
