Florian Theissen successfully defends his PhD thesis
On 30 November 2023, Florian Theissen successfully defended his PhD thesis, 'Sincerely Believing in Freedom'.
Florian analysed the freedom of religion and belief as it takes shape in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, the Constitutional Court of South Africa and the Supreme Court of Canada. As an external PhD candidate, Florian had to combine his research with a demanding job: he is the managing partner of PROOF Advisors, a consultancy firm working in the public sector. The supervisor was Professor Rick Lawson of the Europa Institute and the co-supervisor was Dr Hans-Martien ten Napel of the Department of Constitutional and Administrative Law.
