We are glad to announce the NOVA Green Lab team members of the Cohort 2023-2024!
The NOVA Green Lab team members of the Cohort 2023-2024 are composed of BSc, MSc, and PhD students selected from the group of applicants who answered our open call issued in April 2023.
Every year, the NOVA Green Lab welcomes a pre-selected group of students who has the chance of being introduced to the fascinating transdisciplinary world of conducting research in environmental, climate, and energy law. The membership is annual. During the academic year of 2023-2024, students actively contribute to the academic debate of the research areas of our knowledge center as individuals and as part of an academic community, using the NOVA Green Lab as a platform to disseminate their work. Also, members are expected to actively contribute to one or more of the organization’s programs, which includes contributing to our outreach dissemination plan, organization of events, editorial work, research, and publication at the national, transnational, and international levels.
NOVA Green Lab is an innovative and active knowledge center of NOVA School of Law committed to promoting legal and multidisciplinary environmental, climate, and energy law research. Currently, we are running projects on ESG, in particular from the perspective of the E of ESG and sustainable finance, the regulation of sharing energy and energy communities, and emerging carbon markets. Still, our interests are broader, reaching all legal issues addressed by the European Union within the European Geen Deal.
