ICGI is a research institute connected to the Faculty of Law at Maastricht University. It carries out scientific research on its own initiative and on commission by third parties. ICGI publishes, consults, and provides PhD research supervision and coaching, education and training. The object of research is the corporation and its rules and regulations in interaction with its changing environment. In its research, ICGI focuses primarily on the impact that far-reaching social changes have on corporations, corporate law and governance. This impact concerns the form, nature, structure, mission, strategy, policy, technological and organisational innovation and the overall performance of companies, and therefore their success and (dis)continuity are also part of it. The impact in the opposite direction is also analysed through constructive assessment which enables the development of changes in corporate law and governance in aid of desired social developments.
