The research activity within the Department, carried out by experts from different cultural areas, is characterized by a wide variety of scientific interests in the legal sciences. The variety of interests constitutes the richness and peculiarity of the Department, allowing to multiply cultural approaches and thematic choices, to pluralize epistemological reflection and to broaden strictly disciplinary perspectives.
This variety does not, however, result in dispersion of resources, but is determined in the research of the groups working in the Department and, at the same time, draws real plots of interdisciplinary relations. Hence, in fact, the interdisciplinary character of the research of the members of the Department; hence its vocation to internationalisation.
This activity, which is broad and varied from both a thematic and methodological point of view, is divided into disciplinary or multidisciplinary areas, within which many particular directions of investigation are specified.
