Sacha Garben is a professor of EU law at the College of Europe. She is on leave from the European Commission, where she worked on EU labour law until joining the college in 2015. She has published inter alia on the division of competences between the EU and the member states, the balance between social and economic rights in the EU legal order and the European Pillar of Social Rights.
