Experience beyond academia

2022
​
As a member of the PARSUK executive board, I secured funding from the British Council to develop this research project. As the project Principal Investigator (PI), I had the opportunity to design the research while conducting interviews with EU academics in the UK, leading the team of two research analysts, and taking care of the project management responsibilities.
I had the opportunity to report and work closely with British Council Research team members based in the EU and abroad while reporting to the project's advisory board (PARSUK, FERN UK, Polonium Foundation). You can read more about the outputs in the Research section.
