The path:  Jean Monnet Module and Chair on Better Regulation

The Better Regulation Chair (BeReCh) represented several years (2016 - 2022) of research and teaching activities intended to contribute to improving the effectiveness of law and regulation, and bring citizens and firms closer to public authorities.

​

The focus has been on key European tools of Better Regulation (impact assessment, regulatory burden measurement, ex-post evaluation, consultation), and on the emerging methods to support the regulation effectiveness, from behavioural experiments to artificial intelligence.

​

The path started in 2016 with the awarding of a Jean Monnet Module, then developed in the Jean Monnet Chair on EU Approach to Better Regulation from 2019.

​

The Module and the Chair have formed together around 600 students (through the courses “EU Approach to Better Regulation” and “Better Regulation Advanced”) and professionals (“Alta formazione professionale sulla qualità della regolazione”). Moreover, more than 100 of them had the opportunity to implement their knowledge on better regulation in the field, thanks to internship agreements with top-level institutions involved in better regulation (regulator, regulated firm or think tank). Besides, the Chair always continues to mentor its alumni with advice and new opportunities to further their careers.​​
