She also examines the design and analysis of complex interactive systems for social change, combining theoretical grounding with applied research and evaluation within European-funded projects. She has been involved in numerous European projects, including the Horizon Europe projects AISHA, ORBIS, OPENVERSE, GovTech Connect (DG CNECT), SISCODE and easyRights (H2020), AI4GOV (CEF), and DIGISER (ESPON).
