Her experiences in initiating and running national and international research projects, academic as well as applied, dates back to 2004. With her special interest in comparative approach, she represents Estonia in international social survey programme consortium (http://www.issp.org). Currently engaged in research projects on skill systems, integrating learning at work and formal learning, linking formal and non-formal education, and sustainable consumption.
