  • air quality policies (including industrial emissions)
  • water quality policies
  • biodiversity and nature policies
  • selected topics of general food law (additives, GMOs, etc.).
The course pays particular attention to the relationship between science, risk regulation and law. It applies a systemic approach, underlying the links between these various policies and the main challenges the EU is facing in these areas.
