SNSF Starting Grant for Project on "Public Reinsurance"

EUP postdoctoral researcher Christian Freudlsperger was awarded a Starting Grant by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) for his project "Public Reinsurance in Multilevel Polities (EUROPE RE)". The five-year project will be funded with 1.8 million CHF and hosted at ETH. It seeks to develop a novel understanding of the European Union as a provider of "public reinsurance" against transboundary risks such as military conflict, pandemics, and climate change.
