The Chair focuses on the teaching of modules covering several aspects of digitalisation and EU studies. They are embodied in official curricula of the University of Bologna. The modules are open and offered to all departments of the University (with the exception of module nr 3 which is a module in Business & Management reserved to a closed group of 50 students):

 

1) ‘EU and international data protection’;

2) The Economics and Law of Financial Technologies (Fintech);

3) International Law for EU Management;

4) International Commercial Law

5) Regulation of Digital Markets’.

 

These modules address policy, legal, economic and institutional aspects of the challenges posed by the digital economy from an interdisciplinary perspective and approach. They cover several complementary aspects of the challenges posed by digitalisation, starting with the pervasive theme of data protection in the age of big data and technologies, moving to the disruptive effects of digitalisation on financial services and the making of the Capital Markets Union, to the contextualisation of the EU dimension into the international one (e.g. particularly relevant for future European managers of any industry).
