From 6 to 15 September 2024, the Château de Goutelas, in partnership with the Nuremberg Academy, the French Constitutional Council, the International Association of Economic Law and the Institute for Studies and Research on Law and Justice, held the fourth edition of the “Résidences Adamas”: a European residency programme for legal researchers.
Each partner organisation awards a research prize to an individual doctoral or postdoctoral researcher. Gregory Townsend was awarded the 2024 Research Prize by the Nuremberg Academy, based on an open call for applications. The research prizes support a one-week research residency at the Château de Goutelas in Marcoux, France.
During the joint residency period, the residents present and advance their research work. They benefit from a stimulating interdisciplinary exchange, deepening questions and exchanging perspectives and expertise which provides enriching impulses for their own work.
The programme closed with an event that brought together all partner institutions. In an interactive discussion, the residents and writer-in-residence 2024 at the Château de Goutelas, Camille de Toledo, presented their projects and answered questions from the audience.
Inspired by artists' residencies, Adamas residencies aim to:
- offer an exceptional working environment and enable residents to establish links with other young lawyers, creators and researchers
- facilitate encounters between academic researchers and practitioners in different fields of law
- nurture reflection on the place of legal humanisms, particularly in the disciplines of constitutional, international, criminal or economic law
- help clarify the relationship between legal humanism and major contemporary social issues (new technologies, environment, demographics, migration, labour, health, etc.)
- develop the “Bibliothèque des humanismes” project initiated at the Château de Goutelas.
