Wouter Werner is professor international law at the Centre for the Politics of Transnational Law.   In 2022 he finished his project on practices of repetition in international law, with a focus on restatements, moot courts and cinematic representations of international law. This resulted in the book "Repetition and International Law", published by Cambridge University Press. In 2018 Wouter Werner received a Kaete Hamburger scholarship,  in 2022 a Braudel fellowship at the European University, Florence. His currect research focuses on the notion of the absurd in international law, the evolution of customary law and re-enactment practices in international law.

 One of the outputs of his research is the  so-called 'experimental moot court' inspired by Bertolt Brecht's ideas on rehearsing.  For this see https://www.ejiltalk.org/a-brechtian-way-of-mooting/
