A Research Environment in Time

Abstract

A good research environment will benefit not only the researcher who is part of the environment, but also the research results that come out of the environment. The Stockholm Centre for Commercial Law, SCCL, is a research environment for legal research in the area of commercial law in a broad sense. It is sometimes claimed that it does not matter so much where the individual work is carried out – at an office, at home or at a café. Digitalisation opens up for your own work in different places and creates freedom. This may be so, but there are many examples from the research community that a good research environment is crucial for good research results. As in many other professional areas, it matters what the researcher’s work situation looks like and how it is organised. A good local environment promotes good results, which is what SCCL is intended to promote and create.
