HISTORY & IDENTITY:
The Institute for European Traffic Law, founded in 1999 in Trier, Germany, startet new in 2003 by former MEP Willi Rothley, the father of the 4th MID, and has its registered office now in the EU metropolis of Luxembourg. It serves research, politics, business and consumer protection in all areas of European and international traffic law and mobility.
In order to coordinate teaching and research in all areas of traffic law and to provide initial and continued training to all persons professionally involved in traffic law, the Institute promotes the exchange of academic knowledge and practical experience. The Institute organises the “European Traffic Law Days” which take place regularly at the beginning of October in one of the European capitals. This event is becoming an important European forum for the discussion of all relevant legal aspects related to mobility.
Since 2020, due to the Corona pandemic, the Institute has also been organising online seminars on all aspects of mobility and traffic law as its core.
The institute is unique in its form and totally independent.
The Institute is a European platform for all major European stakeholders in the field of Traffic and Mobility Law.
