Craig Scott, a professor at Osgoode Hall Law School who is Director of Osgoode’s Nathanson Centre on Transnational Human Rights, Crime and Security and a faculty affiliate of York’s European Union Centre of Excellence, has been awarded a 2010 Ikerbasque Fellowship by the Basque Foundation for Science, a granting agency established by the Government of the Basque Country in Spain in 2008 with the mission to consolidate the Basque Country as “a European point of reference for excellence in the field of research.”

The fellowship will support 12 months of personal research and collaboration with the Trans-Law Research Group of the University of Deusto in Bilbao. Scott will build on his existing scholarship pertaining to the civil liability aspects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in relation to human rights and environmental protection, as well as interact with Deusto’s Trans-Law Research Group to widen the scope of the group’s study of economic law.
