On 28 November 2023, Professor Lucila de Almeida presented at the Judicial Academy of the Philippines in an event within the framework of the ´Erasmus+ Capacity Building Calesa Project´ entitled ´Knowledge Sharing on the Modernization of Private Law´. She presented about the Public Intervention in Private Contracting, bringing examples in the EU energy and environmental law. Her presentation was fundamentally based on Lucila´s academic article entitled Rise and fall of the classic concept of private law: lessons from the legal consciousness of European private law (2018).
What is the Erasmus+ Capacity Building Calese Project?
CALESA seeks to address five interdependent problem areas in Philippine legal education, namely the scarcity of academic research in law schools; the inability of teachers and students to access source materials from their own Civil Law tradition, and the evolution of other Civil Law traditions, due to weak interest and multilingual skills; the limited pool of academic experts to review and modernize its legal codes; the protection of Human Rights and the Rule of Law, and the advancement of the integration in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), despite its critical importance and/or geostrategic.
After the completion of CALESA, the main law schools in the Philippines are expected to adopt curricular innovations focused on research, multilingualism, protection of Human Rights and the Rule of Law, regional integration and comparative law in a manner consistent with the Bologna process, in order to facilitate portability with EU universities.
