Katerina Tsampi

Katerina Tsampi serves as Assistant Professor in Transboundary Legal Studies at the Faculty of Law, University of Groningen, specializing in human rights frameworks and European Court of Human Rights mechanisms. Her academic profile demonstrates active engagement in constitutional law principles including judicial independence and separation of powers within international human rights contexts.

Research focuses prominently on Human Rights (100% fingerprint weight), International Human Rights Law, European Court of Human Rights jurisprudence, and Abuse of Rights doctrines. Her work critically examines execution challenges of ECtHR judgments in states with recurring violations while exploring theoretical foundations of human rights discourse through constitutional lenses.

Recent scholarly output reveals two dominant trends: practical analysis of judgment implementation obstacles in persistent violation scenarios, and conceptual investigations into rights boundaries through Article 17 ECHR abuse doctrines and Article 18 ECHR's role in judicial independence. Publications consistently bridge theoretical human rights frameworks with real-world institutional challenges.

Scientific recognition includes:

• NWO SGW Open Competitie XS grant (2025)
• PROM International Scholarship Exchange award (2019)

Academic service encompasses PhD training coordination, moot court competition mentorship, and peer review activities, reflecting commitment to developing next-generation legal scholars through structured supervision and professional guidance.
