Head of Social Environment and Governance

After graduating in Political Science at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), she studied Intercultural Communication at the University of Turku, Finland, and took a DESS in Geopolitics as a postgraduate student at Marne la Vallée University, Sorbonne, Paris, France.

In her professional career, she has worked mainly in international contexts, engaging in European cooperation projects with third countries through programmes like EuropeAid. She has collaborated in educational initiatives related to lifelong learning (LLL), digital skills, micro-credentials and European alliances, as well as participating in projects related to biomedicine, including public health and research, from the FP5 programme to H2020.

She has also worked at the intersection of culture and technology, exploring the hybridisation of the two fields. She has worked at various institutions, both public and private, including the University of Barcelona (UB), the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) and Hospital Clínic, and has collaborated with private companies (biotech SMEs) as a consultant specialising in the biotechnology sector. Finally, as an external expert hired by the European Commission, she has evaluated research projects in the field of the information and communications technologies (ICT).
