A new website for a research project awarded more than €1 million of funding has been launched by academic staff at Kent Law School.
The website showcases the work of a five-year project called ‘The Role and Future of National Constitutions in European and Global Governance‘, which is being conducted by Principal Investigator Professor Anneli Albi and Research Associate Dr Samo Bardutzky.
The project, which received a €1.2 million grant from the European Research Council’s Independent Starting Grant Scheme in 2014, will re-examine the role of national constitutions at a time when decision-making has increasingly shifted to a European and international level.
Through publications and by a series of workshops, the project will seek to foster discussion among constitutional law scholars, judges, parliaments and other institutions throughout the European Union and Switzerland on how to better uphold substantive constitutional rights and values in European and global governance.
