DPP Alumna wins Marie Curie Fellowship

by | Jul 3, 2025 | Alumni, Development | 0 comments

The Alumni Community of the Development Policies and Practices (DPP) Programme congratulates Dr. Taymi Milán, a graduate of the 2016-2017 cohort, who has been awarded the prestigious Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship as part of the ROSETTA Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme, co-funded by the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Scheme of the European Union, Lero (Ireland’s Software Research Centre), and the University of Galway in Ireland. Over the next two years, Taymi will develop a pioneering project investigating how time affects the effectiveness of digital whistleblowing systems, focusing on key sectors such as public procurement.

Despite technological advances that have facilitated the reporting processes and the implementation of European Directive 2019/1937 on Whistleblower Protection, the time factor remains a critical element that is often overlooked. Delays in investigation processes, lack of timely responses from institutions, and the rigidity of legal frameworks undermine the trust of whistleblowers in institutions, increasing perceptions of impunity and the risk of retaliation. Dr. Milán’s project will address these challenges from a comprehensive perspective, exploring how time impacts whistleblowers, organisational cultures, and public policies, with a special focus on gender and intersectionality.
Supervised by Professor Kate Kenny (University of Galway), this project will involve key stakeholders from the network of control authorities and whistleblower protection organisations in the European Union, the International Whistleblowing Network, Transparency International, and other organisations specialising in anti-corruption and public procurement.

Once again, we congratulate Dr. Taymi Milán on this important achievement and look forward to the progress of this innovative project.
