Frank A. Engelen

Frank Engelen graduated from Erasmus University in Rotterdam in 1996, where he was a lecturer of International and EC Tax Law from 1998 until 2004. In 2004 he obtained his doctorate with a dissertation on “Interpretation of Tax Treaties under International Law”, which was published in the Doctoral Series (Vol. 7) of the IBFD and granted an Honourable Mention by the Jury of the 2005 Mitchell B. Caroll Prize. According the Jury, his dissertation “places the issue of tax treaty interpretation in the larger context of treaty interpretation generally and will be an invaluable source of information for future treaty interpretation questions.”
In 2005, Frank Engelen was appointed at Leiden University on the newly created chair of Public International Law Aspects of International Taxation. He also lectures European tax law at the postgraduate course European Fiscal Studies at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam and is a regular speaker on issues of international and European tax law at international conferences.
Professor Engelen is also partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers and Chair of the PwC EU Direct Tax Group, and is a member of the board of the International Tax Center Leiden.
