Descrizione del progetto

The Jean Monnet Module proposal “Climate Aware EU Economic Regulation” (ClimECOR) aims at shifting the focus of EU competition, State aids and procurement law from only achieving mere economic results to contributing to the fight against climate change in line with the provision of Article 9 of the TFEU.

This redirection is urgently required by the need to enlist all available tools to face the climate crisis and answers the calls for action coming from the younger generation worried about its future.

By both focusing on contents and developing innovative teaching methodologies, the Module will involve citizens and, above all, students, including PhD students, both national and international, starting from those enrolled with the University of Turin graduate degree courses, drawing closer together academia and representatives of concerned institutions.

Main activities shall include a course on “EU economic regulation and climate change” and specific insights in other courses as well as workshops, a PhD day and seminars. The purpose of such activities is to promote and foster cultural sensitivity of students and targeted public and motivate them in being aware of their crucial role in the fight for climate change.
