About the Institute

The Institute for International and European Insolvency Law was established in 2008 and is the sister institute of the Institute for Procedural Law and Insolvency Law at the University of Cologne. The institute's director, Prof. Dr. Christoph Thole, and his team conduct research on international insolvency and restructuring law.
Once a year, the Institute organises a symposium at which current issues in German and international insolvency and restructuring law are discussed with representatives from the legal profession and the judiciary.
