The Shared Management of EU Funds in Comparative Perspective

-

This exploratory hybrid workshop brings together scholars researching (or interested in conducting research in) the shared management of EU funds, a topic which remains underexplored, particularly in law. The workshop includes contributions on Member States and Specific Funds as case-studies, conditionality and green ambitions, accountability and transparency - among other topics. More generally, the workshop aims to build a community of scholars interested in EU funds management and foster academic exchange and research collaboration in this area.

This workshop is funded by a 2021 YERUN Research Mobility Award and the Globalisation and Law Network.
