Margherita Rossi

Assistant for International Projects, Publishing and the Third Sector

During her law studies at the University of Naples Federico II, she deepened her study of the international protection of human rights while on an Erasmus exchange at the Université Grenoble Alpes. She subsequently completed the research for her Constitutional Law thesis on freedom of expression in the digital age as a visiting researcher at the Cyberjustice Laboratory of the Université de Montréal, graduating with honours. In 2026 she obtained a Master of Arts in European Interdisciplinary Studies at the College of Europe (Natolin campus, Warsaw). Her focus lies in European migration and asylum policy, development cooperation and human rights in international relations. Her thesis, on the obligations arising from the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, received recognition from the College of Europe as a thesis of particular merit. That same year, she was among the College’s Italian students awarded a prize by the Department for European Policies of the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers. At Natolin, she helped launch the student initiative WeNatolinians4Gaza. In 2021 she was among the founding members of Turchini per il Sociale, a social enterprise promoting territorial regeneration and social inclusion through culture in southern Italy. There she conducts legal research on Third Sector legislation and supports the design of cultural initiatives, including a project funded by Invitalia. Her interests include fundamental rights, migration and asylum law and policy, and social inclusion.
