New Visiting Researcher at iCourts - Chiara Padrin
Chiara Padrin is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Constitutional Law and Comparative Public Law at the University of Milan. Her research examines the constitutional tension between environmental protection and economic freedom from a comparative perspective (Italy, France, Germany), with a focus on the impact of the EU sustainability directives (CSRD, CS3D) and the emerging role of companies as private powers in environmental litigation.
After completing her PhD, her research has been further developed within the national project Coping with Climate Change. Method, Reasons and Procedure for Science-Based Policy Making (https://copscipo.unimi.it/), which examines the intersections between constitutional law, science, and climate governance at both national and supranational levels.
Chiara will be visiting iCourts from 3 - 17 November 2025.
