Chloé BéRUT

Chloé Bérut is MSCA fellow at Ca' Foscari University (2023-2025). She previously worked as a postdoctoral researcher for the Research Program on risk and uncertainties assessment (PARI) at Sciences Po Paris (2022-2023), and also for the Printemps research center and the French Ministry for Health (2021). She obtained a PhD in political science from Sciences Po Grenoble in 2020 which was awarded with two PhD prizes (the Grenoble Alpes University prize and the French EU studies association PhD prize). Her main theme of research is health policies in the European Union, with a focus on digital health policies. She conducted research on the influence of the EU on member states' digital health policies, and she has also worked on the issue of the access to health databases. Her work has been published in international and French scientific journals such as West European Politics, Governance, French politics, or Gouvernement et Action Publique.

At Ca'Foscari University, she works on the EU funded POLiN project, under the supervision of Prof Stéphanie Novak. The POLiN project aims at analyzing EU politics on the issue of interoperability in digital health. Interoperability refers to the ability of computer systems to collaborate effectively, even if they originate from different organisations. In the EU, interoperability standards play a crucial role in establishing efficient digital health infrastructures, including the development of electronic health records, leading to a unified European Health Data Space. While scientists have extensively studied the technical aspects of interoperability, the political conditions that influence the promotion or hindrance of complex agendas by various actors remain unclear. In this context, the EU-funded POLiN project explores the political conditions that facilitate the adoption of interoperability standards in European digital health policies. This will contribute to a new research agenda, focused on understanding how the EU can govern through project cooperation.
