As of December 3rd 2018, Melike Riollet joined the ABG team to work with the divisions of International Partnership Development and Innovative Training & Support.
Melike holds a PhD in political sociology from EHESS Paris and has taken responsibilities in several scientific projects (Grenoble Alpes University, Rennes 2 University, EDF R&D, IDDRI - Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations), as well as international cooperation programs (ADEME – French Environment & Energy Management Agency) from 2009 to 2018.
Beyond her international background, she brings her dual experience in academic and private research to PhD students and PhDs in France and Europe, to help their career development and international mobility.
Her arrival coincides with the strengthening of ABG’s positioning in Europe as a partner for the career development and the recruitment of PhDs. The European recognition of ABG expertise will, in particular, bring an increased participation in European intersectoral projects and in the facilitation of networks for the intersectoral and geographical mobility of PhDs. The strengthening of the international team clearly shows the ambition of ABG to be at the heart of European issues relating to doctoral training, doctoral career development and doctoral supervision.
