Bru Laín is a Lecturer at Universitat de Barcelona with extensive international research experience, including postdoctoral positions at Universitat de Girona, University of Minho, and UCLouvain. He leads the Scientific Board of the Catalan Basic Income Pilot Project and is active in the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) and Spanish Basic Income Network (RRB).

Laín's interdisciplinary research connects political philosophy, political economy, and social policy, with focused expertise in democratic republicanism, property rights theory, and basic income implementation. His work critically examines contemporary economic structures through historical conceptual frameworks, seeking transformative social policies.

These studies investigate welfare access barriers, life satisfaction impacts, and methodological considerations for policy experimentation. Theoretical works reconstruct republican approaches to property rights and economic democracy.
