RASK attorney Birgit Aasa earns great recognition from Estonian Academy of Sciences
We are extremely proud of RASK attorney Dr Birgit Aasa, whose doctoral dissertation earned great recognition from the Estonian Academy of Sciences. On 15 December 2021, Birgit’s PhD thesis received two outstanding awards: the best doctoral dissertation in the field of social sciences and a special prize from the Academy’s Constitutional Law Foundation.
Birgit defended her doctoral dissertation, The Principle of Mutual Trust in EU Law: What Is in a Name?, in February 2021 at the prestigious European University Institute, earning a PhD in Law. At the award ceremony in the hall of the Academy of Sciences, Birgit presented her doctoral thesis for the first time in Estonia.
In her research and daily legal practice, Birgit mainly specialises in European Union law and legal relations between the member states, as well as assessing how these affect the state, businesses and individuals. Her doctoral dissertation is an in-depth study of the principle of mutual trust in EU law, including its development as well as the meaning and role it has in relations between the member states today.
The Estonian Academy of Sciences was founded in 1938 as an association of top-level scientists and scholars to advance scientific research and represent Estonian science nationally and internationally, fostering the adaptation of new knowledge for economic development, the improvement of quality of life in Estonia, and enhancing public appreciation of science and scientific thinking.
