Adaptive and Protective Legal-Economic Framework for the Dynamic Collaborative Wine Tourism Ecosystem (DCTE) Model
The document analyzes the legal and economic aspects of an optimized management model for a Dynamic Collaborative Wine Tourism Ecosystem (EECD). This model aims to boost profitability and sustainable local development through collaboration, the integration of technology, and a solid, adaptive legal framework. The Economic Interest Grouping (EIG/AIE) is proposed as the suitable legal entity to structure the central body or Hub/Nexo, highlighting its auxiliary purpose to its members and flexibility. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) must comply with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act), which provides legal certainty, supports innovation, and establishes requirements and transparency obligations. Personal data protection is essential, in accordance with Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD) and the GDPR, which guarantees individual rights and defines the principles and bases of lawful processing. Other essential legal aspects include the clear distribution of responsibilities in joint actions and the establishment of transparent payment/commission models for cross-selling and joint products.
Beyond the Penal Code: Literature as an innovative teaching methodology
This article describes and evaluates a teaching innovation activity implemented in the course "Criminal Law, Special Part II". The main objective was to use literature as a vehicle to humanize legal concepts, foster critical thinking, and connect penal theory with complex social phenomena. The methodology was based on an initial in-class debate and a subsequent voluntary, non-graded online questionnaire, which was answered by 85 students. The results show a high degree of student commitment, with students suggesting 22 different titles on their own initiative. The qualitative analysis of these proposals reveals a deep interest in topics such as criticism of the judicial system, the figure of the victim, and organized crime. Furthermore, it was noted that audiovisual adaptations often function as a "bridge" that motivates the student to delve deeper into the written work. It is concluded that the use of literature is a relevant and effective innovation for training jurists with a more complete, critical, and humanistic vision of the Law, demonstrating its utility in linking dogmatic theory with the complexity of the criminal phenomenon.

Gender Budgeting in Italian Public Administrations. Legal Limits and Challenges
Gender budgeting represents a strategic tool for public administrations to adopt policies aimed at promoting gender equality, in line with sustainable development goal No. 5 of the 2030 Agenda. The effective integration of a gender perspective into public budgets requires, as a prerequisite, a solid regulatory framework that provides clear guidelines for administrations. Therefore, this paper aims to reconstruct the Italian regulatory framework on gender budgeting, highlighting the legal provisions in force at different political-administrative levels – State, Regions, and Local Authorities – and underscoring the legal limits and challenges faced by these administrations.

Systematic Literature Review: A Didactic Tool to Promote Self-Learning
This teaching innovation work addresses the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on university teaching methodology, focusing on student autonomy in searching for and accessing information. The article presents a teaching experience through Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR) as a tool to foster self-learning. The work highlights the systematic methodology of SLR to collect, critically evaluate, integrate, and present findings from multiple research studies on a specific question. Standards and guidelines established by the Cochrane Collaboration and PRISMA are detailed to conduct an SLR in a rigorous and reproducible manner. Through our experience, we discuss the importance of formulating a precise and well-defined research question, as well as establishing inclusion and exclusion criteria to select relevant studies. We offer a comprehensive guide for conducting an SLR in final year projects. The SLR are an effective tool to foster self-learning and open new doors to knowledge in the university setting.
The virtual permanent establishment’s link for Corporate Income Tax Purposes
The intangibility of the new business models requires our tax system to reinterpret the concept of permanent establishment. Faced with this challenge, we will try to reach the tax link that would allow taxing the profits obtained by companies that are not physically based in the States where they carry out their economic activity. Afterwards, we will carry out a comparative study of the proposals provided by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the European Union. In the end, we will proceed to analyze relevant cases dealt with by the Central Economic-Administrative Court and the General Directorate of Taxes in order to delimit the legal figure of the virtual permanent establishment.
An innovative proposal for legal learning from an interdisciplinary perspective: The protection of fundamental rights against the exercise of the state's ius puniendi
This article aims to highlight the implementation of a teaching innovation activity within the framework of a training programme for new teachers at the University of Cordoba. The objective is to bring students closer to the practical reality through two fundamental ideas: the transversality of fundamental rights in the Spanish legal system and the interdisciplinary nature of different areas of Law. To this end, the activity has been divided into different phases, including a visit to the Constitutional Court and the resolution of a case study that integrates the protection of fundamental rights, criminal Law, and sanctioning tax Law. In this way, the aim is to explain the development of this activity, present the results achieved and share the main difficulties detected during and after its execution, so that this analysis contributes to the introduction of improvements for future editions of the activity.

Valoración de una actividad de escritura profesional por los estudiantes de Derecho: inclusividad y el cambiante concepto de empleabilidad
La educación superior está cambiando en el Reino Unido y a nivel internacional. La creciente comercialización y masificación del sector a lo largo de los años ha traído consigo la presión sobre la empleabilidad de los estudiantes universitarios. Es cierto que, a medida que el cuerpo estudiantil universitario crece y se diversifica, las actividades diseñadas para integrar la empleabilidad en el currículo deben tener en mente la inclusión, para apoyar a los estudiantes a pesar de su origen no tradicional. En este panorama, este articulo explora la impresión de los estudiantes sobre una actividad de escritura profesional establecida en una asignatura troncal, durante el segundo año del grado de Derecho. El estudio utilizo una investigación cualitativa (n=35) y se llevó a cabo en una universidad de alto componente investigativo en el Reino Unido. Los resultados de este trabajo sugieren la necesidad de que las universidades y los profesores de derecho escuchen las diversas voces de sus estudiantes, que reconocen los beneficios de introducir actividades experienciales de empleabilidad en sus asignaturas troncales y con vínculos con un empleador real. Por un lado, los estudiantes de derecho están motivados al experimentar algo diferente en su currículo. Por otro lado, todos los estudiantes se sienten valorados e incluidos en la actividad de empleabilidad, incluso aquellos estudiantes no tradicionales. Si reconocemos y valoramos la diversidad de nuestro alumnado, podemos ayudarles a alcanzar el future que todos merecen.

Surrogate motherhood from the perspective of constitutional law. A jurisprudential analysis of the affected assets and rights of constitutional value
Nowadays surrogate motherhood is an important issue often brought up in our society, jurisprudence and doctrine about the legalization of a practice that provides couples or individuals with the reproductive capacity of other women. As this practice is prohibited in Spain, many Spanish citizens have moved abroad temporarily to countries where it is lawful to have newborns by this method. Thus, because of the potential consequences resulted by an instrumental consideration of women it is necessary to examine the fundamental rigths and constitutional values involved in this matter. After all, this is the only way of evaluating the adequacy of the actual prohibition.

Integration of the Chess Principle of Prophylaxis to the Practical Exercise of Labor and Social Security Law
The Royal Academy of the Spanish Language defines prophylaxis, in its medical reception, as prevention of the disease. This is one of the first ideas taught in chess schools, to improve the calculus of variables. The correct understanding of a position involves identifying one's own weaknesses and the strengths of others, what do they intend or what threaten the rival? The practical exercise of law has elements common to a game of chess. Isn't legal argumentation a strategic exercise? A practical example is presented of how to integrate a reflection on the importance of prophylaxis in the exercise of law with the excuse of resolving a chess position.

The mini-moot court as an active methodology in the teaching of substantive law
This paper describes a practical class carried out with 65 students of a 2nd-year subject of the double degree “Law/Business Administration” at the University of Malaga, combining a face-to-face and virtual scenario through the Virtual Campus (CV) and ICTs. After selecting 6 second-instance judicial decisions on “compensation for damages to schoolchildren during school hours in private educational centers”, the ECLI corresponding to each of the 12 teams formed (6 plaintiff teams and 6 defendants) were provided. All the teams located the indicated sentence and extracted the facts and legal foundations of each case. Only one team required an extension of the deadline for the delivery of the corresponding document. The mock trial activity, in which each team argued their positions, was held in the Judicial Classroom of the Faculty of Law. Next, said activity was evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively, through a questionnaire prepared with Google forms. Almost all of the students found the activity positive or very positive for their learning and a high percentage perceived it as fun. As a conclusion, the Role Play in any of its dimensions, including the mini-moot court type simulation; encourages teamwork and fun learning.

Application of LES (Legal Expert Systems) on the education: A proposal in a practical case of private law
Artificial Intelligence is about to change our lives. All sectors will be involved, including the learning of law. At this point, one of the methods introduced has been the Expert Systems, programs capable of solving legal problems interactively through a certain logic. Although scarcely studied in our country, ELS aspire to become a very useful tool for learning certain legal skills. In order to facilitate its understanding, this article proposes to solve a practical case of real rights (property rights) using the logic underlying the ELS with the aim of making its faults and virtues visible.
The impact of generative artificial intelligence: legal clinic and teaching innovation
This paper analyzes the impact of current AI systems from a legal perspective and, in particular, its impact in the field of higher education is observed. Being a true fact the current boost that this technology receives from the European Union (EU) and in view of the potential benefits it offers, it should also be warned about its risks. Therefore, having a common European regulation on AI is essential, in order to have the necessary legal basis. In this sense, the relevant milestone represented by the planned “EU AI Law” is valued, Anyway, a proactive and, at the same time, preventive legal approach must be adopted. Likewise, it is estimated that actions aimed to legal innovation and teaching innovation, both acting in parallel, acquire valuable functionality in front of this complex environment. If we intend to address this issue adequately, with maximum diligence and effectiveness we´ll be pragmatic.
