At Toulouse Capitole University, the IRDEIC represents a research centre that encompasses all legal research fields beyond the national level (international, European and comparative). The institute also has a multi-disciplinary dimension as it draws from a balanced pool of public and private law lawyers (as such dichotomy makes little sense in real-world issues). The IRDEIC continues to invest in the research fields it has acquired expertise in or where such research could still be expanded or diversified.
