Professor María Luisa Sánchez Barrueco (DEUSTO Faculty of Law) specialist in European Law and Institutions of the European Union has been awarded a Jean Monnet Chair under the title EU-BREATHE "EU Budget for Recovery: Effectiveness and Accountability To Harbor resiliencE".
EU-BREATHE will be structured around three main pillars: economic tools (debt mutualisation and greater coordination of economic policies in the European semester), budgetary tools (Multiannual Financial Framework and Resilience and Recovery Mechanism) and accountability/ democratic tools (protection of EU financial interests) through budgetary conditionality and the launch of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.
In addition, Professor Barrueco also got the Jean Monnet module “nEUraLAW”. The module is related to the unstoppable acceleration of the connections between Big Data technology and Artificial Intelligence, on the one hand, and medical nanotechnology and neurosciences, with the result of an increase in the production and distribution of intelligent neural devices that send information from the brain to computers.
It is a multidisciplinary project bringing together experts in EU law, EU fundamental rights, biomedical law and data protection in collaboration with neuroscientists and engineers.
The main objective is to establish a dialogue based on science and facts in all fields of knowledge, to enable participants to categorise risks and promote regulatory change that helps ensure that citizens' interests remain at the centre of these developments.
