Work experience

Research experience:

European University Institute, Florence: PhD. Research project 'Imagining Europe' (2009-present).

The project strategy for this research involved intensive cooperation with a self-assembled team of

around 7 students in each of the three countries for data collection (Estonia, Italy, the

Netherlands). This taught me significant skills in project and team management, organising

information exchange, and data collection design. It also allowed me to train students as

interviewers and required me to advise students on the methodology in their own projects.
