   Short Biography
Igor Guardiancich graduated in Economics at the Università di Trieste in 2001 and obtained his Master’s degree in Political Economy of Transition at the London School of Economics in 2003. The following year he joined the European University Institute, where he recently defended his PhD entitled Pension Reforms in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe: Legislation, Implementation and Sustainability. This entailed thorough fieldwork research in Belgium, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Serbia and Slovenia.

His working and research experience includes periods spent at the European Commission - DG Enlargement (2005), at the International Labour Organisation (2005), at the European Trade Union Institute (2008). As for his academic involvement, in 2007-2008 he was a visiting fellow at the Central European University in Budapest and at the Centrum Europejskie Natolin in Warsaw. He collaborates with various research networks, such as RECWOWE, Reconciling Work and Welfare in Europe, on the interplay between flexicurity and old-age pensions and the ERSTE Foundation Social Research Fellowship ‘Generations in Dialogue’, on social inclusion and pensions in former Yugoslavia. In addition to being employed at the Observatoire social européen, he will soon start working as an academic collaborator on higher education issues at the Academic Careers Observatory of the Max Weber Program in Florence.
