New MCEL Members
New PhD researchers joining MCEL
We are delighted to welcome to our Centre three new PhD researchers who joined us in the academic year 2025-2026:
- Francisca Németh-Trocado, supervised by MCEL member Marjan Peeters and Suvi-Tuuli Puharinen (Center for Climate Change, Energy and Environmental Law, CCEEL, at the University of Eastern Finland). Francisca's PhD research investigates how EU institutional structures, mechanisms, and procedures promote or undermine coherence in environmental law when addressing the plurality of environmental crises.
Emma Pecqueux and Pauline El-Khoury, supervised by MCEL members Lilian Tsourdi and Sarah Tas and by Lukasz Dziedzic. Emma and Pauline will carry out their research within Lilian's ERC Starting Grant project "SoftEn (Soft Enforcement of EU Migration Law)". Emma's PhD analyses how soft enforcement is carried out through the monitoring mechanisms that support the EU’s Integrated Border Management framework, whereas Pauline's doctoral research focuses on steering mechanisms, studying how EU agencies (the European Union Agency for Asylum and Frontex) influence national implementation.
