Max Planck Cambridge Prize Awarded to Sundhya Pahuja

On Friday 2 December, Professor Sundhya Pahuja was awarded the 2021 Max Planck Cambridge Prize in International Law. The Prize was established in 2019 by the Max Planck Institute and the Lauterpacht Centre with a generous donation from the Max Planck Society’s Supporting Members. It is intended to recognise a mid-career scholar who has not only made an outstanding contribution to the study of international law but who is likely to continue to engage in substantial, innovative and cutting-edge research. The prize seeks to highlight existing research and to support the prize winner’s future work. It also seeks to honour excellence in research leadership and mentoring. The ceremony was held in Cambridge at the Lauterpacht Centre and included a Laudation by Professor Armin von Bogdandy and interview of Professor Pahuja by LCIL fellows Darren Peterson and Matilda Gillis.
