Seraina Rüegger is a senior researcher in the International Conflict Research group at ETH Zurich. She
coordinates the R4D project „Ethnic Power Relations and Conflict in
Fragile States,“ funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and the Swiss Agency for
Development and Cooperation (SDC). She also manages the data collection and updates of the
Ethnic Power Relations (EPR) Dataset Family.
Her research focuses on civil conflict, transborder ethnic groups and forced migration, with a particular focus on post-socialist countries.
As a postdoctoral researcher, Seraina coordinated the SNSF project on „The Causes and Consequences of
Irredentism“ from 2015-2018. She earned her PhD from ETH Zurich in 2013 and holds a master's degree in Political
Science from the University of Zurich (2009). From January to July 2013, Seraina was a pre-doctoral visiting
researcher at the University of Prishtina in Kosovo (SNSF Doc.Mobility Grant). In her PhD project she analyzed
the effects of refugees in asylum countries, particularly focusing on the direction of refugee movements and the
relationship between refugees and the host population or insurgent groups.
