We’ve talked to Dr. Anna Sarybaieva (Pisarenko), who has 20 years of research experience in the fields of administrative law, administrative justice and administrative services.
Anna’s story:
Before the war, I was a Ph. D. (Doctorate ), Associate Professor at the Department of Administrative and Financial Law at the National University “Odesa Law Academy.”
In 2022, I left Ukraine, first moving to Germany, and I am currently residing in Austria. In 2024, I was a researcher at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna and am now a member of the European Law Institute, actively participating in the institute’s events.
What I would “bring back” from Austria and Germany?
• The culture of trade unions,
• Strong protection for employees,
• Social insurance systems.
The integration of these values into Ukraine’s legal and social framework would facilitate the faster restoration of a fair civil society.
Many thanks for participation!
