Now, Lone Wandahl Mouyal wants to shape the development of legal research at a time when the rule of law and a rules-based world order are under pressure:
- Our worldview changes almost daily, and it is important that we as the Faculty of Law both stand strong on fundamental values and core expertise while being able to navigate a changing reality. Legal science and legal research can help set a framework and create predictability, but it also places great demands on the research reaching decision-makers. At the same time, we as a university must continue to think long-term," says Lone Wandahl Mouyal.
In particular, she will work to build bridges between research and the surrounding world to promote a knowledge-based and sustainable society and a just and rule-based social order at the national, European and global levels.
Dean Jacob Graff Nielsen looks forward to welcoming Lone Wandahl Mouyal as the Associate Dean for Research:
- Lone brings solid experience with legal research and insight into thematic interdisciplinary work and external funding, which are important for covering the broad and valuable research at the faculty. In addition, she stands for strong leadership values and for considering collaboration with social actors in the way research unfolds, including with innovation as its goal. I look forward to welcoming Lone to the management group.
