Before joining Club de Madrid, Laura’s career had predominantly been research-oriented.

At BEMIS she led a project evaluating the government’s initiatives to promote the active citizenship of ethnic communities in the region. In addition to these experiences, she has conducted research studies for the University of Exeter on EU public policy, as well as for Cornwall Council on approaches to successful communication at the local level.
