About us

Since our research focuses on the EU’s foreign economic relations, Switzerland’s relations with the EU under international law, and WTO law, we work closely with the World Trade Institute. This fosters global connections with students in the TRAIL+ and MILE programs. The WTI conducts its work in English and is active in interdisciplinary research and teaching in the field of international trade regulation.
