Dr Oliver Gerstenberg

Bio:

Dr. Oliver Gerstenberg teaches EU law and Legal Theory at UCL LAWS since 2016. Prior to this, he held a JF Kennedy Memorial Fellowship at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University; a Law and Public Affairs Fellowship at Princeton University; and a Jean Monnet Fellowship at the EUI. He holds a doctorate in law from the Goethe University Frankfurt.  

Oliver’s research combines an interest in EU multilevel constitutionalism with an interest in constitutional theory more broadly. He was part of the Project Team on the Charter of Fundamental Constitutional Principles for a European Democracy, convened by Takis Tridimas and Eloise Muir under the auspices of the European Law Institute and published by the ELI in 2024.
