Lucille Couzi joined ALDA as a Secretariat Assistant Intern at the Brussels office in April 2026. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Lyon 2 University (France) and is currently completing a Master’s degree in European and International Studies at Aix-Marseille University, with a specialisation in Euro-Mediterranean cooperation. Her academic interests focus on the role of local and regional authorities within European governance frameworks.
During her studies, Lucille Couzi took part in several international academic experiences, including Erasmus+ exchanges at La Sapienza University of Rome (Italy) and the University of Łódź (Poland). She also participated in a study visit in Casablanca, where she explored the role of civil society organisations in addressing migration-related challenges.
Alongside her academic path, she developed strong organisational and teamwork skills through her engagement with the student organisation UNEF (National Union of Students of France), where she served as Secretary General.
Her research interests include contemporary societal issues and migration dynamics. She has notably examined the gender dimension of armed conflicts in the context of the post-Yugoslav wars, with a focus on the use of sexual violence as a strategy to undermine collective identity. During her exchange in Poland, she also conducted research on the evolution of Poland’s migration policy following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in February 2022.
Lucille Couzi is particularly interested in youth-related policies, gender equality and migration issues. She is a native French speaker, fluent in English, and has a working knowledge of Italian and Spanish.
