Forum Montesquieu
The Forum Montesquieu is a center for societal innovation dedicated to creating a new platform for teaching, research and professional development in the fields of law and political science.
This "Excellence Initiative"​ accredited unit aims to promote and enhance the University of Bordeaux's assets both as a leading research and higher education institution and as a real player in regional development.
Research, training, knowledge development, strengthening socio-economic partnerships and taking an active part in campus life – these are the Forum’s "raison d’être."​
Through its three main axes – the labo (“labâ€), the “club†(“clubâ€) and the “maison†(“houseâ€) – the Forum combines innovation and knowledge transfer for players in the socio-economic and scientific worlds, students and civil society, in all of its projects on both a local and an international scale.
In the context of its growing activities and projects, the Forum Montesquieu works in partnership with a wide variety of academics and contributors, including 250 teacher-researchers within the University of Bordeaux's Law Faculty, 400 volunteers within the Law Clinic alone, and 8 different legal research centres throughout France.
