Legal relevance of European values and culture debated at the EUI

The European Union Law Working Group of the Law Department at the European University Institute (EUI) hosted a panel discussion on the topic of Values and Culture as Normativity in European societies and European law, held on 21 February 2025, at Villa Salviati, in Florence.

The panel was organised by Nikko Kulke, of the Max Planck Institute in Halle, who also acted as speaker alongside Narîn Nosrati (LMU, München), Davide Tomaselli (Law Department, EUI), Joyce De Coninck (Law Department, EUI), and Patrícia Jerónimo (Robert Schuman Centre, EUI). Patrícia Jerónimo took the opportunity to share some of the findings of the project InclusiveCourts, taking stock of how European values and Portuguese culture (as well as that of the ‘wide cultural space’ to which Portugal belongs) are used in the case law of the Portuguese Constitutional Court. The panel was chaired by Renan Bodin (Law Department, EUI).
