Pim Jansen

Pim Jansen is Full Professor of Economic Administrative Law at Erasmus School of Law, Erasmus University Rotterdam, since 2019, operating at the intersection of public economic law and administrative regulation with a Rotterdam-focused emphasis on economic activities. He concurrently serves as attorney-at-law at Van Doorne, Editor-in-Chief of Erasmus Law Review, Programme Director of the Togamaster, and Co-coordinator of the Master Publiekrecht voor Bedrijf en Burger.

His research critically examines the evolving state-market relationship through lenses of strategic autonomy, digitalization, sustainability, and societal transitions. Work spans competition policy, national security implications for investment, climate-driven regulatory shifts (particularly hydrogen markets), and ESG frameworks, consistently contextualized within European Union legal dynamics and Dutch implementation challenges.

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal concentrated scholarly engagement with urgent regulatory frontiers: EU competition law adaptations for ESG data sharing, hydrogen integration into heating infrastructure, national security screening of foreign investments, and pension fund compliance with EU fundamental rights. These works demonstrate interdisciplinary convergence of administrative law, economic regulation, and transition governance under twin pressures of digitalization and decarbonization.

His scientific recognition includes:

• EU Jean Monnet Network PROSPER funding (2024)
• Province Zuid-Holland grant for energy transition legitimacy research (2020)
• European Commission Directorate-General for Energy funding (2018)
• Belgium FWO Cambridge research grant (2017)
• Ius Commune Research Prize for industrial policy scholarship (2017)

Jansen actively shapes academic discourse through programme leadership (Togamaster, Master Publiekrecht) and externally funded research initiatives. His dual role as academic and practicing attorney-at-law provides distinctive practitioner insights into competition law and regulatory frameworks, strengthening the applied relevance of his teaching and scholarship.

He participates in critical research networks including the Law & Digitalisation seminar series and CELIS Forum on Investment Security, fostering collaborative analysis of emerging legal challenges at the nexus of technology, security, and economic governance.
