The Willem Witteveen Lecture is dedicated to Prof. Willem Witteveen of Tilburg Law School.

The Willem Witteveen Lecture is dedicated to Prof. Willem Witteveen of Tilburg Law School. Together with his wife and daughter, he died in the attack on MH17 in the summer of 2014. Tilburg University wants to permanently remember his legacy, which was formed by a humanistic and academic tradition and a keen sense of justice, by organizing the Willem Witteveen Lecture annually.

The Willem Witteveen Lecture is organized by Tilburg Law School in collaboration with Studium Generale.
