About the FDEF

The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.

The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance (FDEF) at the University of Luxembourg offers a unique academic and research environment.
Rooted in Luxembourg but with a European and international outlook, teaching and research benefit from the proximity of the European institutions, Luxembourg's leading international financial centre and its vibrant business community. Institutional and private sector partnerships, sponsored Chairs and a growing network of international partner universities make the FDEF a dynamic academic hub at the heart of Europe.

Your role

The Department of Law of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance (FDEF) and the Department of Social Sciences of the Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Science (FHSE) of the University of Luxembourg are opening various funded PhD positions, in the framework of the Doctoral Training Unit on Green and Digital Transitions in the Single Market (DTU-GREITMA) on the following topics:

  • The impact of green and digital transitions on the Single Market's essential components and their transformative effect. The research might focus on the impact of the green and digital transitions on : the enablers of the functioning of the Single Market such as public procurement (supervisor: Prof. Luca Ratti) and intellectual property (supervisor: Prof. Martin Stierle); market actors via concepts in European business law (supervisor: Prof. Thomas Mastrullo) ; the energy market (in particular the analysis of the greening of the European energy market using political sciences methods, under the supervision of Prof. Anna-Lena Högenauer)
  • The regulatory scheme on which the green and digital transitions are based and the use of the Single Market as a normative corridor for standard setting. The research might focus on: the exercise of EU regulatory powers addressing digitalisation challenges (supervisor: Prof. Herwig Hofmann); the impact of national tax measures pursuing environmental objectives and promoting green economy on the Single Market (supervisor: Prof. Aikaterini Pantazatou); consumer education and sustainable consumption in the digital market (supervisor: Prof. Elise Poillot); the external dimension of the European value-based regulation in the Digital Single Market and the impact of the EU digital rulebook beyond the territory of the Union, as a regulatory role model (supervisor: Prof. Mark Cole); the impact of the twin transition in the Single Market on the international position of the Union as a global actor, in particular the use of trade instruments and investment protection mechanisms as projection of the EU human- centric values as developed in the EU regulatory framework (supervisor: Prof. Eleftheria Neframi)
  • The enforcement of the Single Market's rules as a key element of maintaining a level playing field and as an expression of the normative interactions that occur in a multi-level governance structure. The research might focus on: the digitalization of justice in the enforcement of Single Market rules (supervisor: Prof. Silvia Allegrezza); the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg as 'laboratory' for the study of the transformative effect(s) of the twin transitions on the four freedoms of movement and on enforcement challenges, in particular the role of public agencies entrusted with the enforcement of the Single Market rules (supervisor: Prof. Jörg Gerkrath); the role of the private sector, including the financial sector, in enforcement against environmental crime, with a focus on the interplay between punitive and compliance frameworks and the impact of these enforcement duties on companies (supervisor: Prof. Stanislaw Tosza) as well as issues that concern judicial cooperation in criminal matters in the context of a multi-level governance structure (supervisor: Prof. Katalin Ligeti)
