The European University Institute (EUI)
EUI is an international institution created by the Member States of the founding European Communities in 1972. It provides advanced academic training in its four departments (economics, history, law, social and political sciences) to PhD students, post-doc fellows. It promotes research at the highest level, and actively supports interdisciplinarity. It links scholarship and practice, both through its governing arrangements and through specific research projects and programmes. The Law Department has a long-standing focus on legal theory and on methodological challenges of international and European law. In the last years it has hosted, among other things, research on the human rights, law and economics, the regulation of markets, as well as on various aspects of ICT law and ICT policies. My project will be located in the Law Department, and will benefit from interaction with the other departments (in particular, the Economics and the Social and Political Sciences departments). It will also benefit from interactions with the Florence School of Regulation of the EUI, which delivers high-quality thinking on EU policy and regulation in various areas, among which Communications, Media and Transports.
