Obiettivi Formativi
The Law & Policy of Innovation & Climate Change (LPICC) course will discuss and analyze the most relevant public law and policy aspects related to innovation and climate change.
Students will learn the legal and policy fundamentals of the digital and ecological transition and understand their relationship with the opportunities and threats posed by the ongoing disruptive technological transformation, as well as the environmental, social and economic impacts of climate change that will affect the current public law system and the future of humankind.
The LPICC course will focus on the analysis of case studies relevant in the sectors that are the most impacted sectors by innovation and climate change concerns. This list includes energy, mobility & transportation, healthcare, finance. The course will stimulate in-class discussion concerning innovative public law and policy solutions such as research and innovation frameworks, strategic public procurement and investment.

Prerequisiti
No specific knowledge is required outside a basic understanding of public law & policy basic notions. By basic knowledge we mean the command of the notions offered in courses like public policy, constitutional law, public law, public economics, introduction to economics or micro/macroeconomics in undergraduate degrees as well as basic knowledge of the EU institutional system and principles.
Metodi didattici
Reading materials, handouts and slides will be available before each class covering each of the specific topics addressed during the course. Hence, the traditional presentation of the analytical problems can be concise and leave room to Q&A and discussions.
Guests will give a lecture on future-proofing public law, new investment opportunities and career paths based on research and innovation, new business models to combat climate change, digital transformation for social good (names to be announced).

Contenuti
The course is structured into two essential components. The initial segment is designed to establish a foundational understanding of categories within public law and policy. The subsequent part of the course takes a deeper dive into the concepts introduced in the first section, adopting a Research and Innovation (R&I) approach. In this context, it emphasizes the themes covered by the six clusters of Horizon Europe. These themes encompass a wide range of research and innovation areas, spanning from climate action to health and digitalization.
