Birgit's doctoral thesis An EU Law Perspective on Compliance Mechanisms sits right at the crucial intersection of international and EU law. In a context where environmental compliance mechanisms are largely a scientific blue ocean from an EU perspective, the thesis highlights the rapport between these treaty-based mechanisms, their institutions and decisions, and EU law. Thereby, it contributes both to EU environmental and international law research. Birgit defended her thesis successfully on 26^th January, 2021 before the doctoral committee, comprised of Professors Verena Madner, Erich Vranes, Christoph Grabenwarter (all WU), and Professor Joanne Scott (EUI).

Congratulations for this excellent achievement!
