Organisation
The Private University in the Principality of Liechtenstein (UFL) is a non-profit foundation in the sense of Art. 552 ff. of the Liechtenstein Persons and Companies Act (PGR) based in Triesen.
Accordingly, both the PGR and the Liechtenstein University Act (HSG) must be reflected in the university statute.
The foundation council is the supreme body of the university. It decides on matters of fundamental importance to the university and supervises the activities of the university council and the university management.
Dr. iur. Elisabeth Berger
programme director
My interest in Liechtenstein law found expression in several publications and a research stay of several years at the Liechtenstein Institute in Bendern (FL). In 2018, the opportunity arose to take over the management of the doctoral program in law at UFL. I was very happy to seize this opportunity to work in Liechtenstein again and it is very important to me to help students successfully complete their studies.
