He then concentrated on conflicts of law within integrated markets (Common Market). Today he specialises in three
areas: his book on "Investment Fund Contracts" (1997) deals with the central themes in the area of
foreign businesses management, including asset management services on a professional level. Civil law and business

Market Law, that is both interdisciplinary and truly international. The book is one of 10 text books in a
series on Law in the Common Market, called IUS COMMUNITATIS. Stefan Grundmann also studied philosophy and the
history of art. He has written three books on the painting of Titian (1987), modern and postmodernist architecture
(1995) and the architecture of the city of Rome (1997). He also encourages and teaches his students to take a
broader perspective in their work. To this end, Stefan Grundmann organises interfaculty seminars on bank
management and banking law and capital market law.
The Institute for Banking Law and Capital Market Law was founded in 1994. It organises various Seminars, where practice meets academia and where often international and interdisciplinary aspects play an important role. It produces a series of publications together with de Gruyter. It has a large, international library.
The European Law School is currently established in collaboration with King's college London, University Paris II - Pantheon/Assas and Humboldt-University Berlin. It will lead to a triple degree, based on traditional national legal education which then is supplemented by modern European, Comparative and interdisciplinary aspects in the core area which each student may choose.
