Legal science evolves in many ways. Academic curiosity is an important drive in that evolution, opening paths of exploration and igniting awareness on the needs of society. Curiosity–in all its forms–deals with exploring, discovering, and learning towards acquiring new knowledge. Its etymology relates to an interest in care (cura). Academic curiosity can take people to different places (in mind and body), exposing them to other cultures and ideas.

Governing or Governed by Digital Platforms? Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Constitutionalism, the EU, and Corporate Power

Digital platforms and content moderation raise complex political, legal, and empirical questions.

Recently, the EU has adopted various regulations to mitigate the risks and harms associated with platforms and seeks to establish itself as a global standard-setting power in the digital domain. Through regulatory packages such as the Digital Services Act, AI Act, and Digital Markets Act, the EU aims to foster a human-centric, rights-driven, and trustworthy online environment.
