I am Ismael Peña-López.
I am researcher and lecturer at the School of Law and Political Science, Open University of Catalonia (2005-2018; 2024-).
I have been Director of the School of Public Administration of Catalonia (2021-2024) and Director General of Citizen Participation and Electoral Processes at the Government of Catalonia (2018-2021).
I have also been fellow director of Open Innovation at Fundació Jaume Bofill and senior researcher at Open Evidence.
