Jean Monnet Chair of Economic Analysis of European Law

In this podcast of Studio Erasmus, Professor Klaus Heine discusses the question whether a robot should have a legal personality, with historian and journalist Marianne Klerk and host Geert Maarse (podcast in Dutch).

“Als een robot of A.I. via deep learning beslissingen gaat nemen, wie krijgt dan de verantwoordelijkheid? Is het de mens die op de achtergrond staat, is het een bedrijf dat het A.I.-systeem in gebruik heeft, of hebben we hier met een nieuw soort beslissings-identiteit te doen? Misschien moet deze wel, als gevolg hiervan, een eigen rechtspersoonlijkheid verkrijgen.” In een nieuwe podcast van Studio Erasmus gaat hoogleraar Klaus Heine, één van de belangrijkste experts op het gebied van digital governance in Europa, erover in gesprek met historicus en journalist Marianne Klerk en presentator Geert Maarse.

Last week on Thursday September 26th Professor Heine and his third year Bachelor students went on a study trip to Brussels within the framework of the Minor ‘Political Economy of European Integration’. During the trip the students had the chance to learn more about the ins and outs of decision making within the European Union and career opportunities at European institutions. The group visited the Permanent Representation of the Netherlands, the European External Action Service and received a presentation from public affairs consultancy Fipra international. Thanks go out to the partners for their hospitality and the Erasmus trustfonds for helping make this trip possible.

On the 12th and 13th of August 2019 Shaheen Naseer, PhD, presented two papers at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management held in Boston, Massachusetts. The papers “Organisational Inertia and Public Policy Outcomes” and " Analyzing the Impact of Initial Imprints on a Bureaucratic Organisation" were co-authored by Klaus Heine. The papers were discussed vividly and the comments from this discussion will help to improve the papers. The Academy of Management is world's leading professional Association for Management and Organizational Behavior scholars which attracts the most important research in the field each year.

We want to thank our former student assistant Luuk Hoogenboom for his hard work and effort on behalf of the Jean Monnet Chair of Economic Analysis over the last year. We are sure that his skills, enthusiasm and kindness will serve him well in his further studies and career for which we wish him all the best.
