Dr. Eleonora FRASCA is a researcher and lecturer in EU law at the Charles De Visscher Centre for International and European Law at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain, Belgium). Her research focuses on the EU’s contribution to the informalisation of international law-making, and in particular on the nature, function and effects of the EU informal migration agreements. Her areas of expertise and interest are the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (ASFJ), and in particular border controls, migration and asylum policy, also in their external dimensions, as well as EU citizenship, free movement of persons and fundamental rights. She also has an interest in transitional justice. Her research has been published in leading EU law journals (e.g. CMLR, European Papers, J.D.E., R.U.E.) and she speaks regularly at international conferences and symposia. Her scientific production is trilingual and so is her teaching experience.
Post-doctoral researcher on EU migration diplomacy (joint PDR project UCLouvain-ULB).
Lecturer in various EU law courses (EU law: foundations, Constitutional law of the European Union, Migration and Mobility to the EU, Droit et migrations, Contemporary legal issues).
