Background

Sofya is a graduate of the Erasmus Mundus Master course in Research and Innovation in Higher Education (MaRIHE). She holds a MSc degree in Administrative Sciences awarded jointly by the University of Tampere (Finland) and Danube University Krems (Austria). In her Master’s thesis, she utilized the theoretical perspective of institutional logics to explore how academics from social sciences make sense of their societal engagement and of its influence on the more conventional dimensions of academic work. Before entering the Master’s program, Sofya had been employed as lecturer and academic administrator at the Center for Biblical and Jewish Studies of the Russian State University for the Humanities in Moscow (Russia).
