ROSA BARCELÓ COMPTE

I am an Assistant Professor of Private Law at the University of Barcelona. I have been conducting research at the Molengraaf Institute for Private Law (University of Utrecht, 2015, 2017) the Università degli Studi di Milano (2016) and the Amsterdam Centre for Transformative Private Law, University of Amsterdam (2022).

My main research interest lies in the field of European contractual law and the protection of the weaker party in the contract. My Ph.D. thesis focused on the institution of 'unfair advantage' by means of a critical analysis that highlighted the potential of the introduction of this rule in private law.

I was awarded with the Extraordinary Ph.D. in Law Prize, University of Barcelona, 2018). This prize was followed by a book on the same topic (Ventaja injusta y protección de la parte débil del contrato, Marcial Pons).
