Frank Mattheis is Senior Researcher at GovInn and at the Institute for European Studies at the Université libre de Bruxelles in Belgium.

Prior, Frank Mattheis was senior research fellow at the Centre for Area Studies of the University of Leipzig (Germany). He is trained in Global Studies with a M.A. from the Universities of Leipzig and Vienna and a Dr. phil. from the University of Leipzig.
