About Us
Stefan Braum
Professor at the Faculty of Law, University of Luxembourg. Holder of the CILES Chair held by the Centre de Documentation et de Recherches européennes (CDRE – UR 3004) de l’Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (UPPA).
Following a scientific collaboration on the question of respect for the rule of law during the polycrisis linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, Professor S. Braum (University of Luxembourg) and I (Director of CDRE, UPPA, Bayonne) wished to strengthen the links between him and my research unit. My role was therefore to work towards the creation and institutionalisation of an International Chair, to be held by Prof. S. Braum, but attached to the CDRE. From a scientific point of view, part of my research focuses on issues related to European sovereignty : border controls, respect for rights, cross-border cooperation, intergovernmental cooperation, legal integration, etc.
Ghislaine Alberton
Professor of public law, agrégée of the Faculties of Law, UPPA.
Professor Alberton works mainly on the interaction between French law and EU law.
François-Vivien Guiot
Lecturer in public law at the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (UPPA).
After completing a doctorate on the distinction between fact and law in the Court of Justice of the European Union, my research led me to pursue the question of power within Europe in various dimensions. As a lecturer and researcher at the University of Toulouse 1 and then at the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (UPPA), I am committed to developing a multidimensional analysis of European public power, both in its constitutional and theoretical aspects and in its administrative and functional arrangements.
Clémentine Mazille

Sylvie Peyrou-Bartoll
Lecturer – HDR – in public law at the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (UPPA).

As a doctor of law and research engineer at the CDRE, my role in the CILES Chair is twofold. Firstly, from an administrative point of view, I am involved in the administrative and financial management of the Chair and in the organisation of its events (colloquia, doctoral workshops, discussion forums). Secondly, from a scientific point of view, part of my research currently focuses on sovereignty and fundamental rights (chapter in the book ‘Experimental law’, edited by Professor S. Braum), or artificial intelligence and digital sovereignty (as part of the RetrIA cross-border network).
Marion Fontaine
CILES post-doctoral fellow.
After completing my doctoral thesis in public law at the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (UPPA), I had the privilege of being recruited as a post-doctoral fellow at the CILES Chair. This has enabled me to extend the scope of my research, by organising and contributing (through oral communications and feature articles) to scientific events on the subject of European sovereignty.
Salima Gartomi El Idrissi
PhD student at the CILES Chair.
Salima is PhD student currently enrolled at both the University of Luxembourg and the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (UPPA), where she is actively participating in the international CILES Chair. Her current research explores the definition of an EU sovereignty in light of the geopolitical implications of the rule of law in EU restrictive measures targeting Russian individuals and companies.
Thomas Andreu
PhD student at the CILES Chair.
As part of the CILES Chair, Thomas is conducting doctoral research into issues relating to the ‘stato-national’ dimension of European integration, through the prism of populist resistance based on sovereignty. In this sense, the CILES Chair also gives me the opportunity to look at the issue of the people (and peoples) in the idea of European sovereignty.
