Dr Fabian Eichberger

Fabian serves as a Charles & Katharine Darwin Research Fellow at Darwin College, University of Cambridge, and is also a Fellow at the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law. His primary research interests span general international law (with a particular emphasis on dispute settlement and state responsibility), international investment law, and international environmental law. In his work, he seeks to bring legal analysis into conversation with insights from different disciplines, notably political science and international relations. At present, his research focuses on national security, the concept of “self-judgment”, state-owned corporations, and the procedure of international courts and tribunals.

Tapp Studentship of Gonville & Caius College and a scholarship from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation. During his PhD studies, he was an International and Comparative Law Research Fellow at the University of Michigan Law School. Prior to joining the University of Cambridge, he was a Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg.
