| In June 1997, the universities of Maastricht, Liège, Cotonou (Bénin) and Lomé (Togo) entered into a joint agreement for the development of a postdoctoral training in environmental law and environmental policy. The primary objective of the project is the development of knowledge of environmental law and environmental policy and the application thereof in the context of the environmental issues in French speaking Africa. To be able to realize this objective, on the one hand a one-year Master Course has to be organized yearly in the area of environmental policy and environmental law in French speaking Africa. On the other hand a (regional) knowledge centre of environmental law should be set up, in order to give students and academics the possibility to further develop their knowledge in the area of environmental law.
