Paula Dornbusch

Paula Dornbusch serves as a Research Associate for the European Research Council (ERC) funded project SYNCPOL at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. She is affiliated with the Chair of Political Systems and European Integration within the Geschwister Scholl Institute for Political Science, a core department under the Faculty of Social Sciences at LMU.

Her research focuses on Political Science with specialized expertise in European Integration and comparative Political Systems. The ERC-funded SYNCPOL project investigates synchronization phenomena in political processes, examining how institutional coordination and policy convergence occur within European governance frameworks. This work contributes to broader understanding of democratic resilience and transnational political dynamics in contemporary Europe.

As an ERC project researcher, Dornbusch operates within a competitively funded framework that provides substantial resources for advanced political science research. The European Research Council grant supports data-intensive methodologies, international collaboration networks, and dissemination activities including high-impact publications and policy engagement. This funding environment enables rigorous investigation of complex political synchronization mechanisms across European institutions.
