Two PhD researchers will work on the project ‘EUROTYPES: The Impact of Cultural Stereotypes in European Multi-Level Policy Enforcement’, funded by the European Research Council (2024-2028) and led by Dr Adina Akbik. Cultural stereotypes are often present in the political and media discourse on EU governance, e.g. ‘the lazy Greeks’, ‘the tax-dodging Italians’, ‘the stingy Dutch’, and so forth. Yet despite their frequency in public rhetoric, there is limited research on how stereotypes affect the behaviour of civil servants working in EU institutions. The project aims to explore the role of cultural stereotypes among people involved in the direct implementation of EU policy (‘multi-level policy enforcement’) via EU agencies. More information about the project is available at: https://www.adinaakbik.eu/projects/2702-eurotypes 

The third position will be part of the project ‘Cultural Stereotypes in the Council of the European Union: Real Threat or just Cheap Talk?’, also led by Dr Adina Akbik. This project aims to examine how cultural stereotypes affect cooperation among national civil servants participating in Council working parties and committees.
