Previously, he worked at the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a European Union agency. His research focuses primarily on international and European refugee and Migration law, Human rights law, and Legal theory.

In May, while teaching at a joint LLM at UP, Prof. Alan Uzelac visited the UP Law Clinic.

Prof. Uzelac is the founder of and heads the Legal Clinic of the University of Zagreb and as such, was very interested in how the UP Law Clinic is structured and how it functions.
