CELIS Country Notes and Reports

The CELIS Country Report project aims at compiling well-informed open access analyses of foreign investment regulation, with a particular focus on investment screening in various jurisdictions.

In the next years and months, we will first publish concise and clear overviews of national foreign investment systems, called Country Notes, and later on, more detailed analyses on specific topics, called Issue Notes, and an overall in-depth report, called Country Reports.

Each Country Note and Country Report is reviewed by peers and by the team of the CELIS Institute to ensure high-quality research.

If you are interested and want to know more about the project, feel free to get in touch with our Deputy Director Lena Hornkohl at lh@celis.institute.
