Management experience Since 2017: Principal of the Brexit Institute at Dublin City University. The job required directing the Institute and
planning its activities, including all workshops and conferences. Moreover, it also involves directing the

with high-level institutions and private organizations to identify speakers. Crucially, then the job required

for Law Assistant Professors, Associate Professors, Post-Doc and PhD – as well as mentoring the work of
junior colleagues, developing new taught programs (notably a “Master in European Law & Policy” and a
25
“Master in Data Protection and Privacy Law”), and building new international partnerships (including
with Trento University Faculty of Law and Stanford Law School).
