Research

Within the Amsterdam Centre for European Law and Governance (ACELG) she is pursuing her research in EU administrative law and governance, with a particular focus on procedural law and the interplay between legal and non-legal institutional developments at the EU level. She is also developing research on the links between EU and global regulatory regimes, as well as on comparative administrative law, to the extent that this can be a tool for the conceptual and theoretical understanding of administrative law developments in the transnational and global spheres.
