Two members of our team – Professor Wojciech Jasiński, and Katarzyna Parchimowicz PhD. – have been awarded research grants from the National Science Centre

Professor Wojciech Jasiński received funding in the OPUS competition and will be carrying out a research project entitled „Right not to Incriminate Oneself in the Digital Era. Can New Challenges Help us Find Common Foundations?”. The aim of the project’s research is to establish how the right not to incriminate should be understood in the digital age. As the challenges posed by the digitalisation of everyday life also translate in an important way into criminal proceedings, the project will examine the impact of new technologies on the right not to incriminate oneself. The project will analyse the rationalisation of the right not to incriminate oneself and how it was originally defined, as well as how its understanding has evolved. Finally, an attempt will be made to answer the key research question, i.e. whether the original assumptions about the right not to incriminate oneself are still valid in the 21st century or whether they need to be reinterpreted in order to respond to the challenges of the progressive development of science and technology.

Katarzyna Parchimowicz, PhD, has been awarded funding in the Sonata competition for her research entitled „Beware financial stability – reverse engineering of legal threats in the areas of technology, climate and anti-money laundering”. The aim of this project is to identify and explore legal provisions in areas of technology, AML and climate, that are non-financial stability-oriented (the ones that do not embed financial stability as a regulatory rationale), but nevertheless have caused financial instability. This analysis will constitute an attempt to verify main hypothesis of this work: financial stability should constitute an overarching regulatory rationale, regardless of the primary goal of a given regulatory solution
