Visiting Researcher Zilin Hao

We are currently hosting visiting researcher Zilin Hao, PhD researcher at Wuhan University, in January-June for a six-months research stay. She is working on her PhD thesis (Exclusive jurisdiction for cross-border litigation) and got LLM and LLB in Law (China University of Political Science and Law).

She presents herself: “My research interests focus on the fields of private international law and international civil procedure. Before I came to Rotterdam, I learned a lot from the publications of Prof. Xandra Kramer. Thus, I appreciate Professor Kramer, who integrated me into her research group. During my stay, Xandra Kramer and her team gave me warm welcome and care. Most
importantly, by participating biweekly academic seminar with professional
teammates, I can consider my thesis question from the comparative perspective of
European private international law and civil procedure law in a straight way.
I cherish this rare opportunity for an academic visit and look forward to learning more in the coming months.”

In December, the book ‘From common rules to best practices in European Civil Procedure’ was published, edited by Professors Burkhard Hess and Xandra Kramer. The book is the result of a concluding five year grant project by Xandra Kramer (PI), provided under the Innovational Research Incentives Scheme Vidi grant of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). Part of the papers is also important as a point of departure for the current project, in particular part II on E-Justice and part III on alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in the context of judicial cooperation.
