TILEC has a new research coordinator on the law side

Firat Cengiz joined TILEC as a post-doctoral researcher in July 2009 from the European University Institute in Florence, where she was a Max Weber Fellow. Firat received her Ph.D. degree from the ESRC Centre for Competition Policy of the University of East Anglia, UK, with a thesis titled "Antitrust Federalism in Comparison: Multi-level Enforcement of Competition Policy in the US and the EC". Institutional aspects of competition policy constitute Firat's primary research interest and for the rest of this academic year she will principally be working on a book project based on her doctoral research. Firat was engaged in university administration both at the University of East Anglia and the European University Institute. Therefore, she enthusiastically agreed to take on her shoulders the task of research coordination of TILEC on the law side. Firat has a firm belief in transparency and a bottom-up approach to administration at all levels. Therefore, she will be more than happy to discuss any questions or suggestions about TILEC activities or research in general. She can be found in room M513 and reached by phone at +31 13 4663648 or by e-mail at f.cengiz@uvt.nl.
