About us

Funded in 2014 by Prof. Dr. Pierre-Yves Monjal (Professor of Public Law, Jean Monnet Chair) and joined by Prof. Dr. Emmanuel Aubin (Professor of Public Law), the Nihon EuropA network is a result of a desire to establish an informal structure based in Tours (France), in connection with the IRJI (Interdisciplinary Legal Research Institute) and the Faculty of Law of the University of Tours. Its purpose is twofold: first, to bring together researchers from numerous French and Japanese universities and legal practitioners from both countries for biennial conferences; and second, to support student mobility between Japan and France. 

An academic cooperation network

From its inception, the Nihon EuropA network was designed as a flexible framework to enable and develop symposiums and study days focusing, on the one hand, on the relations between Japan and the European Union, and on the other hand, on major contemporary issues in public and private law. Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, by 2023 Nihon EuropA had established itself as the leading academic cooperation network between France and Japan, having organised three major conferences since May 2022 (see our « Scientific events » section) and with its members participating in numerous scientific events in both France and Japan.
