CIDEEFF secures Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence "EAGLES"

CIDEEFF – the Research Centre for European, Economic, Financial and Tax Law of the University of Lisbon has had its application for a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence approved, coordinated by Professor Nuno Cunha Rodrigues.

Co-funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ programme – Jean Monnet Actions, the Centre of Excellence, entitled "EAGLES – European AI Governance for Competition, Regulation and Sustainability", will get under way by the end of 2026 and is expected to run until the end of 2029. The EAGLES project's main aim is to deepen the study of Artificial Intelligence governance in the European Union, through an approach that brings together competition law, regulation and sustainability, reinforcing academia's role in reflecting on the legal and institutional challenges posed by emerging technologies.

The project team is made up of a number of academics and researchers from CIDEEFF and the University of Lisbon, together with internationally recognised researchers in their respective fields.

This new achievement comes alongside another project currently coordinated by Professor Nuno Cunha Rodrigues, the Jean Monnet Network "Bridge Watch: Values and Democracy in the EU and Latin America", which will draw to a close later this year.
