Embedding environmental sustainability in listing regimes
The collaborative LLM dissertation is a very interesting project of the School of Law, giving LLM students the possibility to develop a research project with practical impact. When I was thinking about a potential topic for my dissertation in February, I realised that the “normal” dissertation would be not so different than writing a (longer) essay. On the other hand, the collaborative dissertation allowed me to put into practice the knowledge acquired during the year, enhancing my overall LLM experience. Therefore, at least in my case, it was an interesting and stimulating experience.
Having the possibility to collaborate with an external partner organisation while also being provided with an academic supervisor made it possible for me to develop a research project with real relevance, being able to apply what I studied in my LLM courses to the organisation’s work. I think that one of the most valuable aspects of the experience was the possibility for me to “help” the partner organisation with their work. Indeed, feeling part of a project that could have a social impact in the near future was really stimulating.

Overall experience was very positive and I was very impressed with Luca's dedication, professionalism and final work product. Espe
cially that he went beyond the brief to make a related submission to the UN in his own name.
