Research Fields



Alberto Alemanno is Jean Monnet Professor of Law at Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales (HEC) Paris and Global Clinical Professor at New York University School of Law. Alberto’s research has been centered on the role of - and need for – evidence and public input in domestic and supranational policymaking. In particular, he has been focusing on and promoting the study of the emerging law and policy of risk regulation in both the EU and the WTO legal orders. He has explored, in particular, the use of scientific evidence and behavioural research - as drawn from psychology, cognitive sciences and economics - in regulatory decision-making and in the judicial review of science-based measures by courts. At present, he is working on the legal implications and potential contribution of behavioural research in policymaking across policy areas, in particular public health. Due to his commitment to bridge the gap between academic research and policy action, he regularly provides advice to a variety of NGOs and governments across the world as well as international organizations, such as the the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the World Health Organisation, on various aspects of European Union law, international regulatory cooperation, international trade and global health law as well as evidence-based policymaking. Originally from Italy, Alemanno is a graduate of the College of Europe and Harvard Law School. He holds a PhD in International Law and Economics from Bocconi University. Prior to entering academia fully time, he clerked at the Court of Justice of the European Union, worked as a Teaching Assistant at the College of Europe in Bruges and qualified as an attorney at law in New York. He is the founder and editor of the European Journal of Risk Regulation (published by Cambridge University Press) since 2009. Alberto is the co-founder of The Good Lobby, an innovative skill-based matching organization connecting people with expertise and knowledge with civil society organizations that need them. He established the Summer Academy in Global Food Law & Policy in 2008. Today this initiative has become the leading training programme for professionals, policymakers and scholars committed to a more sustainable and fairer food supply chain. Alberto Alemanno was appointed Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2015
