Fiket Irena

Main research topics that I worked on whilst at Universities of Florence, Siena, Bologna and Oslo as a postdoc, include citizen participation, democratic innovation, deliberative democracy, European identity, European public sphere, European Higher Education and the Western Balkans. On those topics I published more than 15 peer reviewed papers or chapters and held more than 30 presentations, seminars or public lectures. I am one of the founders and a member of the Standing Group on democratic innovation at the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) and the president and one of the founders of Club 500, NGOs with a mission to improve the quality of higher education, research and scientific production in Serbia.
