RIseEU proposes a 72-hour teaching programme on Key Fundamental Rights Issues in the European Union (EU) to be held at NOVA School of Law in Lisbon. The project seeks to provide a comprehensive assessment of the key fundamental rights issues in the main areas of EU action, with an in-depth analysis of migration and asylum. Two Master-level courses will be offered: ‘Key Fundamental Rights Issues in the EU’ and ‘Key Fundamental Rights Issues in EU Migration and Asylum Law’. In the last two decades or so, a series of crises and developments have shaken the EU, posing fundamental rights challenges. The treatment of migrants and asylum seekers, the climate crisis, the rule of law backsliding in some Member States, the energy crisis in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the artificial intelligence ‘revolution’, have all sparked heated debates on fundamental rights issues and the role of the EU therein. Taking seriously EU’s ambition as a beacon of human rights and recognizing the important steps it took so far, RIseEU will assess the extent to which the EU delivers on its commitments and if this requires amendments to its current legal or institutional framework. Given the numerous critiques of the soon to be adopted New Pact on Migration and Asylum, special attention will be given to migration and asylum.

SINPL-EU is the first course combining EU Intellectual Property (IP) Law and Sustainability. It is a 36-hours curricular course held at NOVA School of Law in Lisbon, complemented by a 24-hours preparatory course on Foundations of IP law and a 10-hours Online Writing School component, the latter being open to the students of all the project partner universities. The need to combine EU IP law and Sustainability comes from the nature and evolution of this legal discipline: the EU is expanding its harmonization of IP rules and modernizing them to promote sustainable goals. EU IP law is becoming a fundamental part of law school curricula across the EU. However, there is a lack of learning activities on the intersection between IP and Sustainability. This is a highly problematic gap, as IP law is central to incentive all industry sectors towards technological and cultural innovation. SINPL-EU aims to fill this gap. It provides a high-profile learning experience for students passionate about EU law, IP law, and Sustainability studies.

The project aims at building a permanent network of scholarly reflection, joint research, exchange of methodologies, and advocacy to strengthening regional integration and cooperation in and between Africa and Europe. Through shared values and initiatives, the project seeks to establish an academic infrastructure to redesign the EU-Africa relationships for next generations, allowing both regions to better address: region-specific critical issues with major spillover effects; regional and trans-regional governance; economic, political, and decision-making interdependencies; ever-growing global challenges and quests for a multipolar international system. It further aims at strengthening African integration through a careful analysis of the experience of European integration.
