Legal advice of u-institut for the project "Creative Impact Research Centre Europe" (CIRCE)

We have been advising u-institut on the project "Creative Impact Research Centre Europe" (CIRCE) since 2022. The project is funded by the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media as part of the European Commission's "Brexit Adjustment Reserve CBAR" funding program.

Among other things, u-institut plans to set up and operate four research labs to explore current and future-relevant topics in the cultural and creative industries (e.g. entrepreneurship, digitalization, shortage of skilled workers and (training) education or (anti-) discrimination) with the project participants (e.g. universities and scientists).

The Research Labs will be central contact points for the project and are therefore, due to their anchoring throughout Europe, important components for the integration of as diverse and international perspectives as possible in the content-related work of the project.

Our service 

We advise the u-institut comprehensively in questions of public procurement, funding, subsidies and contract law in the "CIRCE" project. We design the award procedures, accompany the coordination with the funding agency, draft the contracts and negotiate them with the bidders.
