BIOGRAPHY
Dr Bénédicte Sage-Fuller is a graduate from Université Robert Schuman (Strasbourg, Maîtrise en Droit, Certificat de Droit Européen, 1999), and University College, Cork (LL.M 2000 and Ph.D 2009). She was appointed lecturer in the Law Faculty in September 2007.
Bénédicte has two main areas of research interests. First, it is all things maritime: the protection of the marine environment in Irish and international law, the law and management of fisheries, maritime and port law. But Bénédicte is also active in the Comparative Law area. She researches the rich history of the evolution of the rule of law in Europe, through the study of various aspects of French, German and Irish law.
Bénédicte is the Director of the Law and French and Law and German programmes at the Law Faculty. Before her appointment in UCC, she worked as Law of the Sea consultant and principal researcher in the Nautical Enterprise Centre Ltd, a Cork-based company specialised in pan-European maritime research projects (DG TREN). Since 2009, Bénédicte has been working with UNCTAD and Dublin Port Company on Modern Port Management. This programme is aimed at providing development aid in the form of teaching to sea ports in developing countries. Bénédicte is a guest lecturer at the National Maritime College of Ireland since 2008 (Fisheries Law, Port Law). She is a member of the Irish Maritime Law Association, and the Secretary of the Irish Society of Comparative Law.
