Chiara Salati is a researcher at Eurac Research, Institute for Comparative Federalism (Bolzano/Bozen), and a PhD candidate at the University of Macerata. She is also a voluntary member of the Government and Law Research Group and the Metropolitan Legal Lab of the University of Antwerp, after having spent a six month visiting research stay during her three-year PhD.
Her doctoral thesis studies the implementation of the principle of horizontal subsidiarity in Italian cities through the commons from a wider European public law perspective. The aim of her research is to investigate how other cities could also support civic participation through the commons by relying on European constitutional principles. She collaborates with Labsus-Laboratorio per la sussidiarietà with action-oriented research on the model of shared administration of the commons in Italian cities, and she is a member of the research group Gruppo Progetto Città (University of Padova) on cities in public law. She holds a Master's Degree in Comparative, European, and Transnational Law from the University of Trento (2018).
