Many of our lines of research are conducted from an interdisciplinary and international perspective and address some of the major transformations of our time.
These include the digital transition, with a particular focus on the regulation of technologies, artificial intelligence, data and platforms; the international outreach of law, ranging from judicial cooperation to international trade, and extending to the governance of markets, labour and related tax issues; sustainability, environmental resilience and the ecological transition; the protection of fundamental rights and the new challenges facing democracy.
Competitive research projects
The Department is involved in 115 competitive research projects, both national and international, 91 of which are active in 2024.
The consolidation of research groups has led to the establishment of centres recognised within their respective scientific communities, particularly in the fields of history and philosophy, criminal law and supranational law. The Department also participates in the University’s interdepartmental Research Centres working on cutting-edge research themes – including artificial intelligence, the environment and health – as well as in inter-university centres.
This activity forms part of a particularly extensive international network, which is also reflected in the Department’s participation in leading academic networks such as UNA Europa and The Guild.
