Research Areas

Sara investigates European aerospace cooperation, specifically Eurofighter and Ariane, as a prism to study European integration and its transatlantic dimension through comparative and transnational approaches, from 1973 onwards. The core of her doctoral research lies between the histories of European integration, technology, air and space, looking at the technological development and industrial issues as a complementary but absent element of the European integration.

Sara is currently member of the History of European Integration Research Society (HEIRS) and winner of the Postgraduate Vibeke Sørensen Grant assigned by the President of the European University Institute. She also holds a joint MA in Contemporary History from the University of Pisa, Italy, and the Ecole Pratique des Hauter Etudes of Paris, France, and an Advanced Pilot License from the Aero Club d'Italia.
