The bi-annual English Fernand Collin Prize for Law aims at stimulating junior researchers in Flemish academic institutions in the area of law. The award was established in honour of Fernand Collin (1897-1990), who was chairman of Kredietbank from 1938 to 1973.
The Fernand Collin Prize for 2025 is awarded to Hannelore THIJS for her work Solidarity in Acquisitions Regimes (720 p.). This is the dissertation with which Ms. THIJS obtained her doctorate in law from KU Leuven on 5 December 2024. Professor Alain-Laurent Verbeke was the supervisor of this dissertation.
The Prize will be presented on Monday, 8 December 2025, at 6:00 p.m. during an academic session at the University Foundation (Egmontstraat 11, 1000 Brussels).
