Aurore Dudka

I am originally from France and began my career as a financial auditor but decided to change fields, obtaining a teaching certification in economics and sociology in 2013. In 2018, I moved to Italy and won a scholarship to undertake a Ph.D. in economic sociology at the University of Milan. During this time, I conducted one of the first European studies examining the ability of energy communities to promote greater democracy and justice, with a specific focus on the role of women in the renewable energy sector. I successfully completed my Ph.D. in December 2022 and am currently employed as a researcher at the University of Trento, where I continue to explore themes related to democracy, justice, and the involvement of women in the energy sector. Since 2019, I have also taken the initiative to establish an association that organises activities and workshops centered around sustainability and the preservation of Lake Como, where I live.
