The European Law & Governance School (ELGS), a specialized university school of the European Public Law Organization (EPLO), hosted on 3 June 2026 a free online course entitled "Regulating AI in the EU: From the AI Act's 'Green Silences' to Trustworthy Governance". The event marked the official launch of the new ELGS LLM in AI, Ethics, Regulation and Innovation and brought together leading experts on AI law, ethics and public policy.
The webinar was moderated by Dr. phil. Dora Papadopoulou, Associate Professor and BA and MA Coordinator in Governance at ELGS, who introduced both the new LLM programme and its institutional context within EPLO and ELGS.
The discussion featured presentations by Professor Susana de la Sierra on AI use and accountability in public governance; Dr Mihalis Kritikos on ethical research governance and the EU's approach to trustworthy AI; and Dr Enrico Buono on the environmental blind spots of the EU AI Act and the legal challenges of computational sustainability. A lively Q&A session concluded the event, reflecting wide interest among participants in both the substantive topics and the newly launched programme.
The initiative forms part of ELGS's broader commitment — in line with EPLO's mission — to advancing interdisciplinary expertise at the intersection of law, technology, ethics and public policy, and to training the next generation of legal professionals equipped to navigate the challenges posed by artificial intelligence.
