ECHO,Conference,-,Speaker,Profiles Dr Alberto Alemanno is Jean Monnet Professor of Law at Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales (HEC) Paris and Global Clinical Professor at New York University School of Law. Alberto’s research has been centered on the role of - and need for – evidence and public input in domestic and supranational policymaking. In particular, he has been focusing on and promoting the study of the emerging law and policy of risk regulation in both the EU and the WTO legal orders. He has explored, in particular, the use of scientific evidence and behavioural research - as drawn from psychology, cognitive sciences and economics - in regulatory decision-making and in the judicial review of science-based measures by courts. At present, he is working on the legal implications and potential contribution of behavioural research in policymaking across policy areas. Due to his commitment to bridge the gap between academic research and policy action, he regularly provides advice to a variety of NGOs and governments across the world as well as international organizations, such as the the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the World Health Organisation, on various aspects of European Union law, international regulatory cooperation, international trade and global health law as well as evidence-based policymaking.

Originally from biology she received postgraduate nutrition training at the University of London to help build up a new Nordic academic nutrition program in Oslo from the late sixties. Here she introduced early the then poorly developed aspects of socioeconomic and political aspects of public and community nutrition, and of agriculture and food policy in setting premises for food and nutrition security. In an academic break she served as nutrition advisor to IFAD in Rome (1989-95) and was later a board member of the International Food Policy Research Institute. Over four decades she has worked to link food and nutrition security to the international human rights system especially with regard to adequate food and health, and has a long experience from academic, NGO and UN collaboration in promoting such linkages in research, education and policy. She has been active in developing and promoting human rights based options in academic nutrition training and research, including with universities in developing countries. Among her publications she co-edited a two- volume book on ‘Food and Human Rights in Development’ (2005 and 2007). In 2015 she received The Royal Norwegian Order of Merit with Commander’s rank for her contributions to the interpretation of the right to food as a human right. Currently she coordinates an interdisciplinary research and action network on Food, Human Rights and Corporations (FoHRC) which seeks to interpret the UN Business and Human Rights Guiding Principles for the food sector. Oliver Bartlett is a lecturer in law at the University of Liverpool. He researches on public health governance and the theory and ethics of public health law, with a specific interest in the role of law in the prevention of addiction. Oliver began his research at Durham University, where he completed an MJur on the regulation of alcohol advertising by the EU. His PhD research went on to investigate how law can be used as part of a holistic, horizontal and multilevel approach to combatting addiction. His thesis (to be completed shortly) presents justifications for the use of legal interventions in addiction governance, analyses current addiction governance at national and European level, and explores the feasibility and desirability of developing an EU Strategy on Addiction. Oliver’s planned future research will investigate justiciability mechanisms for the right to health, analysing the application of paternalism theories to the use of law and NCD prevention, and further exploring the role of law in the governance of complex social and health problems.
