Furthermore, professor Cramér, in collaborating with professor Daniel Naurin, initiated and led a multidisciplinary research project on the effects of Member State observations submitted to the European Court of Justice within the preliminary ruling procedure. This project has been financed by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation and was concluded in spring 2016. 

Ongoing research projects conducted by professor Cramér focuses on the legal effects of treaties concluded by the European Union and the interrelationship between international trade regulation and the negotiations on an multilateral agreement for limiting the emissions of green house gases.
