	Biographie succincte
Sandra Kröger holds degrees in social sciences (Humboldt-University in Berlin, Paris VIII) and Interdisciplinary France studies (University Freiburg). She developed and completed her PhD in the context of the graduate programme “The Future of the European Social Model” (supervisors: Prof. Ilona Ostner and Prof. Claus Offe). The dissertation dealt with the OMC in the field of social inclusion and its implementation in France and Germany. From 2006-8, she lectured at the Georg-August University Göttingen and the Humboldt University Berlin in the fields of European social policy governance, European integration theory, and poverty in the EU. Before joining the Institute of European Integration Research (Vienna) in May 2008, she researched the inclusion of civil society organizations in EU policy-making processes as part of a larger research project directed by Prof. Beate Kohler-Koch. She joined the Jean Monnet Centre for European Studies at the University of Bremen in October 2008 as a senior researcher and lecturer. Her current research focuses on democratic representation in the EU which she empirically investigates with regard to organised civil society.
