New Jean Monnet Chair at the Faculty of Law, University of Maribor

Title of the Project: Everything as a Service (XaaS): Regulating the Digital and Sustainable Transformation of the Services Economy in the EU

Jean Monnet Chair Holder: Professor Janja Hojnik

Duration of the project: 1 October 2024 – 30 September 2027

Project ID: 101176380

This Jean Monnet Chair explores how the EU regulates the fast-growing “Everything as a Service” (XaaS) trend, where consumers increasingly prefer access over ownership. The project focuses on the interlinked themes of servitization, digitalization, and sustainability, and examines their legal, economic, and environmental dimensions. By combining teaching, research, and public events, the Chair sheds light on the regulatory challenges of the modern services economy and its role in the EU’s digital and green transitions.
