Friedl Weiss, 1946-2025

In memoriam Friedl Weiss

The Vienna School of International Studies mourns the loss of Friedl Weiss. After obtaining a Ph.D. in law from the University of Vienna, a Licence from the Université Libre de Bruxelles and an LL.M. from the University of Cambridge, Friedl taught law in Birmingham and at LSE, served as Legal Adviser in the Department of Legal Affairs of the EFTA Secretariat and as a Consultant in the Legal Affairs Division of the GATT Secretariat and then joined the University of Amsterdam and later the University of Vienna as Professor of law.

He lectured at the Vienna School of International Studies from 2007 to 2022, teaching numerous generations of our students about international economic law and EU law. In Friedl we have lost a valued lecturer, friend, and a passionate researcher whose work has influenced many of the institutions around us.
