What did this initiative focus on?

The Bilateral Initiative consists of the exploratory research project “Legal-by-design digital disruption in the circular economy”.

Both the digital product passport and hydrogen energy are two topics at the forefront of European law and policymaking which have not yet been sufficiently addressed by legal scholarship.

The objectives of this initiative thus consist of: 1. strengthening the academic connections between a legal system that is at the intersection between Roman and Germanic law, and one of the finest representatives of Nordic law, 2. allowing the researchers from JusGov and the Law School at the University of Bergen to learn from the biggest experts in the field, 3. producing, with such acquired knowledge, state-of-the-art, top-notch research that could be then further developed into research and I&D cooperation projects of greater dimension, and 4. effectively disseminating such tangible outputs.
