Research

CELINA RAMJOUÉ works in the area of research policy at the European Commission's Research Directorate-General. She first worked in the unit dealing with research ethics, organizing the European Commission's ethics review for research projects funded by the European Union. In her current position as policy officer, she is in charge of the scholarly communications dossier and deals with the question of how the current scientific publication system (including issues like peer review, impact factor, publishing business models) interacts with research excellence, and what role it plays for access to and dissemination of scientific information.

Before joining the European Commission in 2005, Celina worked as a researcher in the area of comparative science and technology policy at the University of Zurich. During this time, she benefited from Swiss National Science Foundation-funded research stays within the Program on Science, Technology and Society at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, and at the European University Institute in Fiesole, Italy. Her research involved the societal and political dimensions of life sciences in two areas: genetically modified food and assisted reproductive technology. Celina's dissertation compares genetically modified food policies in the United States and the European Union.

Celina holds a Ph.D. from the University of Zurich (political science), an M.A. from the University of Munich (political science), and a B.A. from the University of Virginia (foreign affairs).
