Kirsi-Maria Halonen

My current legal research interests include questions relating to public procument law, administrative law, state aid law and contract law. More precisely I'm interested in security of supply, potential of economic regulation in the promotion of sustainability, transparency in public procurement, effective remedies, promotion of public sector innovations as well as contract law rules in European law context. Lately, I has been more and more involved with multi-disciplinary research projects relating to identification and prevention of corruption in Finland.  

Currently I participate to the activities following research groups: the Law, Markets and Environment (vice-chair ) and Welfare Law.

ONGOING RESEARCH PROJECTS: I am acting as a research consortia vice-leader, a sub-project leader and as a Principal Investigator on behalf of the University of Lapland in LEXSECURE Law for Secure Supply: Internalizing the Crisis Exceptions project funded by Academy of Finland special funding for research into crisis preparedness and security of supply.

I am also involved in KeLiPa The Ecosystem of Sustainable Mobility Services project funded by European Regional Development Fund. This is a joint project between Multidimensional Tourism Institute and Faculty of Law.
