International

On the international level, we have launched the International Academic Forum on SOGIESC Law. It is intended to involve scholars around the world interested in the field to exchange ideas and cooperate on research projects and provide anyone interested in the field with reliable and high-qualitiy information.

Professor Andreas R Ziegler publishes regularly in this field and represents Switzerland and Liechtenstein in the European Commission of Experts on Sexual Orientation Law (ECSOL)

 

Switzerland


On a national level the project cooperates closely with the Reseau Genre, droit et sexualités  and the Réseau Suisse de recherche sur les discrimination.

We participate in a project among all Swiss universities: GenderCampus.ch (Network Gender Studies CH).

 

Lausanne

The University offers currently a course "Genre, droit et justice" (Eléonore Lépinard, Lucile Quéré et Marta Roca Escoda) and a course "Loi fédérale sur l'égalité" (Christine Sattiva Spring) in French.

Within the University of Lausanne the project cooperates with the Plateforme en études genre (PlaGE) and in particular its Interdisciplinary Research Group on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI Research Group).
