Bruno de Witte and the ever-evolving field of EU law

Professor Bruno de Witte is saying goodbye to Maastricht University, but not to European Law. He will continue to deliver his razor-sharp legal analyses at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence. Looking back on his extensive academic career, he remains fascinated by the fast-changing European legal landscape. His unique outlook on law - and life in general - is greatly appreciated and necessary. Or as he puts it: 'I have had to change my way of teaching over the years. If I had wanted to work on a subject that never changes, I should have chosen Roman Law.' According to Professor de Witte, the ever-changing character of European Law and Maastricht University are a great match. 'I have always considered our university to be very open. We are not constricted by any ancient or outdated traditions.
