Niki Koumadoraki

A TRAIL+ student, Niki previously worked at the International Trade Centre in Geneva, coordinating projects aimed at development through trade in Central and West Africa. She has also completed an internship at the WTO’s Research Division focusing on e-commerce, and a Blue Book traineeship at the Legal Unit of the European Commission’s DG Trade in Brussels.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in law from the University of Athens, Greece, and a master’s in international law from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland. She has also co-authored two articles on WTO law and ISDS reform.

Niki has a passion about the international economic law’s impact on our living conditions. This motivated internships at the Permanent Mission of Afghanistan to the WTO and at the Petitions Unit of the UN Human Rights Office in Geneva during her master’s, as well as a traineeship at a law firm on labour and commercial law in Athens. Finally, she was part of the team winning the prize “Youth in Action” from the Austrian government in 2017 for a youth meeting on refugees and has also realised a research placement on business and human rights in Vienna.
