About International Tax Center, Leiden University
Leiden University is known for its early specialization in international tax law. In 1986 it created the first chair exclusively for international tax law and, in 1998, the International Tax Center Leiden (ITC Leiden) was set up to accommodate the rapidly increasing interest in teaching and research programmes in international tax law. Professor van Raad, the founder and chairman of ITC Leiden, manages the various programmes.
ITC Leiden is best known for its 12-month full-time LLM (Adv) Program in International Tax Law, which is designed to provide in-depth training for lawyers with a tax or economics background and economists with a legal orientation. Among experts, the Leiden LLM (Adv) Program is widely considered as one of the leading, if not the best, international taxation programme currently on offer.
As part of its efforts to enhance international tax law education globally, ITC Leiden also provides short courses taught in The Netherlands and abroad. These include summer courses at ITC Leiden and Peking University in Beijing, and seminars and brief courses offered in a variety of countries (recent years include Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Taiwan, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Russia, Poland, UK and Venezuela).
