Eva is as a guest PhD researcher affiliated with the Organisational Behaviour research group. She received a research master degree in Social and Health Psychology at Utrecht University with distinction (cum laude). At the Europa Institute of Leiden Law School, she now investigates public perceived legitimacy of the European Union, and how these social psychological insights can be translated into EU law.

Why do citizens have trust in the EU? What is the role of social identity and moral values? And what does this mean for the progression of EU law? Together with prof. Armin Cuyvers, prof. Daan Scheepers, and prof. Naomi Ellemers, she tries to answer these questions in an interdisciplinary research project.

Currently, Eva is a visiting researcher at Stockholm University's Global and Regional Governance group.
