2025 I am honored to have been awarded the LE STUDIUM RESEARCH CONSORTIUM grant for a collaborative, interdisciplinary research project. This consortium brings together a distinguished group of international scholars from diverse disciplines, including economics, law, political science, computer science, and linguistics. Key partners include Magdalene Silberberger, Professor of Development Economics at the International Center for Sustainable and Just Transformation [tra:ce], Witten/Herdecke University, Germany; Marie Bonnin, Research Director in Environmental Law at the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement and the Faculty of Sciences Semlalia at Cadi Ayyad University, Morocco; Jelena Bäumler, Professor of Public and International Law with a focus on sustainability at the Center for European and International Law, Leuphana University, Germany; Brigitte Mathiak, Senior Scientist in Knowledge Technologies for the Social Sciences at GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, Germany; and Jean-Frédéric Morin, Professor of Political Science at Laval University, Canada. The consortium also includes experts in law such as Julien Bétaille and Mathias Siems; in linguistics, particularly legal comparison, Joëlle Popineau; in computer science, Anne-Lyse Minard, Béatrice Markhoff, and Jihad Zahir; in economics, Inmaculada Martinez-Zarzoso, Pascal Combes Motel, and Basak Bayramoglu; and in political science, Clara Brandi. Together, we aim to advance interdisciplinary research at the intersection of environmental regulation, sustainability, and empirical legal analysis.
2024 With Magdalene Silberberger and Maria Vidali we have been selected for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships as part of the Horizon Europe program on the theme 'Firms in (a) Greener Economy,' with a score of 98.40%, positioning us among the top 2% of projects in this call. This is particularly impressive for Social Sciences projects, which account for 27% of the total submissions.
