Teaching

Postgraduate

At the University of York, Bernardo contributes to masters degrees in public policy, notably convening the module on theories of the policy process.

External activities

Overview

Policy engagement

Bernardo enjoys contact with policymakers and business leaders, both as sources of information and as potential beneficiaries of his research (e.g., policy insights on institutional design). Prior and in parallel to his academic career, he worked as a lobbyist for the Union of the European Electricity Industry, and as a consultant for Oxford Economic Research Associates. Bernardo’s continuous engagement with interdisciplinary, policy-relevant research is inter alia reflected in the individual project for which he has been granted funding (€ 166,320.000) by the European Commission.
