Early life and academic career
[edit]Benedetto completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Sussex and his graduate studies at the London School of Economics and Political Science, from which he earned an MSc(Econ) and a PhD.[4] His doctoral thesis (2005), under the supervision of Simon Hix, dealt with Institutionalised Consensus in Europe's Parliament.[6] Benedetto started his academic career as a lecturer at the University of Manchester in 2005.[7] He joined Royal Holloway, University of London, in 2006,[8] and was appointed Jean Monnet Chair in 2016, with an inaugural lecture entitled £350 million per week and why Europe needs a budget.[9]
Achievements
[edit]As an expert in EU budgetary politics, Benedetto is co-author of the Study on the Potential and Limitations of Reforming the Financing of the EU Budget prepared for the EU's High Level Group on Own Resources, the so-called Monti Group.[10][11] As a Jean Monnet Chair, he was also invited to provide oral evidence on Brexit and the EU budget by the House of Lords EU financial affairs sub-committee of the select committee on the European Union,[12] and to provide written evidence for the European Parliament Committee on Budgets on the EU budget during the previous decade.[13] For the election of new parliamentarians in 2019, the European Parliament commissioned Benedetto to author a History of the EU Budget, which was published in 23 languages.[14]
