We are pleased to invite you to the presentation of the RULIERD Project.

In 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union’s Achmea decision expanded the scope of application of the principle of autonomy of the European law, rendering more difficult the harmonisation of the latter with international investment law. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the RULIERD project will address this clash between EU and international investment law by reconceptualising the hierarchy of norms. The project will focus on the issue of reverse discrimination as a representative problem with the aim of mitigating conflicts. To achieve this goal, a unique methodology that combines law and economics will be used to explore both the practical and theoretical aspects of RD. The study proposes a neo-monist approach (named Mosaic Monism) to prevent RD from distorting the fair functioning of the common market.

Discussants:
Professor Michael Waibel
Professor of international law at the University of Vienna

Dr. Giulio Alvaro Cortesi
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow, Vienna University

A glass of wine reception will conclude the event.
