About
Daniela is a PhD candidate at the European Institute.
Her research examines migration governance in international organisations, focusing on how civil society actors and people with lived experience of migration gain access to policymaking processes at the EU and UN level. Drawing on institutional and qualitative analysis, her work explores the design and evolution of participatory arrangements in migration governance.
She holds an MSc in International Migration and Public Policy from LSE and a BA in International Affairs (major) and Philosophy (minor) from John Cabot University (Rome, Italy). She has held visiting research positions at the Brussels School of Governance and the European University Institute. Before joining the European Institute for her PhD, she worked as a trainee in the LIBE Committee of the European Parliament and volunteered with an NGO providing legal aid and assistance to migrants in Rome. Alongside her PhD, she has worked as a consultant for civil society organisations in Italy on EU migration policy.
Her studies are funded by an LSE Studentship.
