gLAWbalHEALTH - Law and Global Health

Leading Researcher: Rute Teixeira Pedro / Anabela Costa Leão

A polyhedral concept, difficult to define and insusceptible to static delimitation, health is a reality that is not reduced to the mere absence of disease, but rather represents “a state of complete physical, psychological and social well-being”, in the terms defined by the WHO, demanding the consideration of individual and collective dimensions.

1. It’s a wonderful (digital) world: Law in a digital and technological society

Leading Researcher: Rute Teixeira Pedro / Maria Raquel Guimarães

3. Economic effects of family in the 21st century

Leading Researcher: Helena Mota / Rute Teixeira Pedro

​In the last decades, there have been significant changes in family forms and in the legal framework applicable to them. As a consequence, it is important to reflect on the patrimonial component of family legal relations. Bearing in mind marital relationship, affiliation relationship and de facto union relationships, we will consider the signs of a persistent patrimonialisation of the family.

Common Home of Humanity

Leading Researcher: Paulo Magalhães

Science has shown that what is at stake is not “saving the planet”, but rather ensuring the continued favourable state of the Earth System for humanity. That means that a planet beyond the favourable state cannot serve as our “Common Home”. Scientific knowledge has already identified the control variables that determine the state of this system, the so-called "Planet Boundaries", which define the Safe Operating Space for Humanity. This qualitative and quantitative space for security is intangible and non-territorial, and constitutes our real Global Common.

The Impact of Legal Research on Supreme Court Decisions; Contribution to an assessment of the practical relevance of legal studies

Leading Researcher: Maria Raquel Guimarães

Bibliometrics, assessments of scientific performance and, generally, the more or less objective or subjective methods of assessing the research work produced by legal professionals are topics that have recently preoccupied academia, research centers, researchers and postgraduate students. The importation of methods, formulas, and systems from the exact sciences into the world of legal research seems to be ineluctably imposed, and the need to adapt the way we have worked over many decades appears to be a reality with no way back.
