The research activity of the Services Law in Italian and European Legal System Group focuses above all on the following areas:

Artificial Intelligence and Law

Technological Innovation and Services Law

Big data

Research activity is conducted on the law of obligations and contracts, general part and single negotiation cases, and on the law of succession, with an in-depth study on the delicate topic of the protection of legitimaries and the relationship between trusts and the prohibition of agreements on inheritance.
Also of importance, then, is the focus on new legislation, with particular regard, in the patrimonial sector, to the issue of credit guarantees, between debtor and creditor protections.

The multidisciplinary research group URBinN has a thematic focus on urbanization, urban and regional planning and sustainable development of small and medium sized urbanities in a global perspective with an initial focus on Nordic remote areas. The motive for this interest is the somewhat under-researched area of social, spatial, historical and economic processes related to the origin, functioning and planning of smaller urbanities in general.

The aim of the group is, while using an interdisciplinary approach, to:
a) identify legal reasoning and argumentation techniques that could be adapted to enrich business intelligence (BI) research and
b) identify and adapt statistical methods used by BI researchers that could bring a valuable input for legal reasoning and interpretation.

If global economy were a ship, it could be called the Titanic. It is fated to run into a crisis. An experienced seaman at the helm knows that the longer a streak of economic growth lasts, the more likely it is that a crash will occur. The question is only whether it will be just a shoal, or an iceberg. In other words, is the crisis just a “market disturbance,” or heralding something larger?

The researchers were driven by ‘the aim to present what is most important in the process of sharing knowledge and shaping the skills of discovering very diverse, complex and often controversial problems of the contemporary world’. Short essays about well-known historical events and precedential court judgements, used by the authors as the basis for questions about contemporary interpretation and application of law, especially in the context of hard cases, are a modern method to share knowledge of law.
