Dr. Miroslava (Mira) Scholten is an Associate Professor of EU law enforcement, a member of the Utrecht Centre for Regulation and Enforcement in Europe (RENFORCE) and is the director of the LLM Law and Economics. Since 2019, Mira is the co-coordinator of the Jean Monnet Network on EU Law Enforcement (EULEN), an initiative of 9 European Universities, funded by the EU Commission, and is the creator and the main co-editor of the eulawenforcement.com . In September 2022, she has been appointed as member of the Scientific Advisory Board (WAC) of the NWO Domain Social Sciences and Humanities. Since February 2022, she is the chair of the UU Open Science platform.
Mira's research expertise lies in the field of EU law enforcement and governance. In 2016-2020, she has been conducting the 'veni' project 'Shared enforcement but separated controls in the EU - how to make it work for democracy and the rule of law?' funded by the Dutch Scientific Council (NWO). Mira is a member of the scientific board of Osservatorio AIR, an Italian research-policy centre funded by Italian national independent agencies.
Mira teaches master courses on different aspects of EU (institutional) law and policies, EU agencies, supervision and enforcement in the EU and supervises master and PhD students. 'Do not waste good students' research!' has become her teaching philosophy and in July 2019, this idea was awarded a prize at Utrecht University. Before that, she led an education project on why and how to use blogging in education 'Edublog'. Both projects were funded by the Utrecht fund for innovation in education.
Mira executes various managerial tasks, participates in ad hoc and regular committees, such as Open science, at Utrecht University and is a member of Utrecht Young Academy (among others, in interdisciplinary research and finance groups). She holds Basic Qualification Teaching and Senior Qualification Research certificates (BKO and SKOz).
