🛑 The EU’s Better Regulation agenda risks cutting rules that protect workers, consumers & the environment. A policy brief by Brigitte Pircher @brigittepircher.bsky.social calls for stronger oversight, transparency & reclaiming regulation: library.fes.de/pdf-files/bu...

The SUPA project has a new webpage! 🌐 👉 www.supa.uio.no/english/inde... There you’ll find: 🌍 project background & goals 👩‍🔬 team members & institutional partners 📢 news, events & publications (with more coming soon!) Check it out — and let us know what you think!

We invite papers on: 🧩 Drivers and patterns of rule growth ⚙️ Implementation and administrative capacity 🔄 Deregulation and simplification efforts 📊 Methods for measuring complexity

📈 More laws, more policies, more regulations. But administrations aren’t growing at the same pace 🚨 This mismatch risks poor services, unequal treatment & frustration. That’s where #SUPA comes in: from 2025–2028, we’ll study how to improve rule design & strengthen modern democracies 🏛️✨

Two inspiring days in Munich have come to an end. Thank you team LMU for hosting a SUPA kick-off, and to everyone participating. Look forward to seeing you soon! #supaproject #horizoneurope
