Dr M.A.N. van Schadewijk (Matthijs)

Matthijs van Schadewijk has been working at the Social Law Division since 2017. He is the coordinator of the Labour Law Graduation Track. Within this programme, he coordinates and teaches the Master's courses Advanced Labour Law and Enterprise & Employment, and also coordinates the master's thesis programme.

Matthijs conducts research in the field of employment law. His research interests focus particularly on collective labour law issues, such as sustainable employment practices, cross-border employment, and the intersection between labour law and corporate law. A central theme in his research is the interaction between Dutch and European law.

In early 2023 Matthijs defended his PhD on group companies in employment law. Central in this research is the way group companies as economic entities are integrated in employment legislation, which traditionally regulates the contractual, singular relation between employer and employee.

Matthijs holds an LL.M degree in both European Law and Dutch Law (cum laude) from Radboud University Nijmegen and in Corporate and Insolvency Law (with distinction) from the Nottingham Law School.

Matthijs is also a member of the programme committee (OLC) of the law faculty and one of the confidential contact persons for PhD candidates.
