Liron C. Danieli is a Visiting Fellow at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute. Her research focuses on public policy design and regulation, with a particular interest in the behavioural and institutional factors that shape the policy design process and regulatory decision-making.
