Tereza joined the Institute for European Studies during the GR:EEN Project at ULB in Autumn 2012 where she examined the role of the European External Action Service (EEAS), its composition (including gender balance) and the upgraded role of EU Delegations. From October 2014 to September 2017, she continued with the same project with a funding by the Belgian national science foundation (F.R.S.-FNRS). Based in Seoul, her current research examines what role the EU could play in helping solve the North Korean crisis.
