Dr Maria Weimer is the new Acting Director at ACELG

13 September 2023

For the upcoming academic year, Dr Maria Weimer will become the Acting Director at the Amsterdam Centre for European Law & Governance (ACELG). Maria is associate professor of EU law and regulation at the University of Amsterdam and has been a member of ACELG since 2013. Her current research interests are EU risk regulation and EU sustainability regulation with a focus on health and environmental protection, sustainable agriculture, and supply chain regulation.

Professor Christina Eckes, previous Director of ACELG, will be taking a step back from the role after 10 successful years and will focus on other projects. She continues to be a member of ACELG.

I am honored to follow Christina Eckes as the ACELG director and to build upon her remarkable work for our group. I am looking forward to working with ACELG’s many talented and dedicated colleagues to further strengthen ACELG’s standing as a leading centre of excellence on European integration research, particularly at a point in time when Europe is facing dramatic new challenges. I also see it as my task to continuously care for and support the wellbeing of ACELG researchers, which I see as the foundation for everything else we do as academics. Dr Maria Weimer
