Profile
Alberto Nicotina is a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer in EU Law at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and a voluntary member of the Government and Law Research Group at the University of Antwerp. He is currently working on the ERC-funded project 'LitDem: Strategic Climate Litigation’s Direct and Indirect Consequences for Democracies' (P.I. Christina Eckes). His research interests include comparative constitutional law, especially within the EU, environmental law, legal theory, and qualitative legal methods. In May 2024, he defended his PhD thesis at the University of Antwerp (under the supervision of Patricia Popelier and Peter Bursens) titled: “Constitutional Strategies in the face of Multi-level Governance: an Empirical Legal Theory of EU Integration”, in which he originally combined Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), case studies, and game theory.
Over the past few years, Alberto has been a Trainee at the Court of Justice of the European Union, in the cabinet of the Estonian judge Küllike Jürimäe (2024), and a Visiting Researcher at the universities of Copenhagen (2022), Madrid Complutense (2022), Brussels ULB (2018), and Montpellier (2017). After obtaining his 5-year Laurea Magistrale in Comparative, European, and Transnational Law from the University of Trento, Italy (2018), he worked at a large Milan-based international law firm, where his practice focused on environmental law issues. -
