Seminar with Serena Fabbozzo

Bio

Serena Fabbozzo is an administrative and civil lawyer in her law firm based in Tuscany, with about 20 years of experience related to landscape and environmental protection, but also to obligation and compensation for damage. Since 2022 she has been a PhD fellow at the University of Turin and the topic of her research is regarding The application of the 'Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)' EU principle in research and innovation financed by European funds: identification of compliance tools and adoption of administrative best-practices in universities. 

Abstract

The principle of DNSH, i.e. do no significant harm, was included by the European Council as a conditio sine qua non for access to funding from the RRF (Recovery and Resilience Facility), thus linking the National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) to the concrete implementation of the ecological transition and the objectives of the European Green Deal, in order to promote sustainable reforms and investments. Therefore this principle is essential to access funding from the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the document that aims to support interventions that contribute to the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The purpose of my research is  trying to investigate what exactly DNSH means, what nature it has and what could be the best guidelines within which research projects should be developed, also through  a comparison of the Danish best practices with the Italian ones. I would also like to verify what an effective research monitoring and certification system could be. In fact, only through effective economic and financial reporting it will be possible to verify whether the DNSH has been applied but also to predict what type of sanctioning measures to adopt and whether an effective prevention system exists to encourage compliance with the DNSH
