The Global Justice Clinic is funded by the The Foundation for Innovation in Higher Education (Stiftung für Innovation in der Hochschule) as an innovation project within the „Freiraum“ funding line from 2024 to 2026, receiving approximately 400,000 euros. 

To achieve this, the project develops and implements an innovative "Clinical Education in Global Justice" program at the Faculty of Economics, Law and Social Sciences. This program enables students to engage in experience-based and research-based learning, allowing them to develop legal content and apply it in real-world cases to support disadvantaged individuals seeking justice. Through direct engagement with concrete injustices, students gain a deeper understanding of law's non-neutrality, while critically reflecting on their own privileges, biases, and social responsibilities.

 The project establishes a skills-based, three-semester clinical curriculum and formalizes partnerships with practitioners. It also integrates training into global clinical networks and learning collaborations, where Erfurt students work alongside peers from the Global South on case-specific projects. Additionally, the clinic includes an outreach component, equipping students with media and communication skills to facilitate social knowledge transfer.
