Previously she worked as a research assistant at the University of Essex, the University of London and the University of Southampton.

Important research areas of Professor Katsanidou in the field of empirical social research include political representation in the EU, European crises, voting behaviour, radicalisation and research data management. 

We are happy to greet her in Cologne!
