Dr Alberto Lepore
Marie Curie Fellow
I have a degree in Law and a PhD in Labour Law from the University of Rome "Sapienza", and in the same University I obtained the specialisation in Employment Law and Industrial Relations.
I have been a Researcher in Labour Law at the University of Rome "Tre" since 2005.
I am a member of the Journal Advisory Board of Rivista Giuridica del Lavoro, and have collaborated with many law journals in Italy.
Since 2000 I have been member of the "Associazione Italiana di Diritto del Lavoro e della Sicurezza Sociale.
Since 2008 I have been member of the Industrial Law Society.
In 2008, I was a Visiting Fellow at the University of Leeds, working on protection of employees in cases of transfers of undertaking (sponsor: Professor John McMullen). In January 2011, I returned as Marie Curie Fellow, with the project "Practical Impact of EU Equality Directives in Italian and UK Employment Law" (PIEDIUEL), supervised by Professor Dagmar Schiek.
