Md Mashiur Rahman is currently a Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy, Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, Finland. His doctoral research focuses on the complexities of multi-level governance (MLG) within the European Union, with particular attention to the coordination challenges across EU, national, and local levels in the context of climate and digital transitions. His work critically examines hybrid governance—emphasizing flexibility, inclusivity, and the integration of formal and informal mechanisms—as a means to bridge governance gaps. He aims to propose practical strategies for embedding hybrid governance approaches into EU policy processes, especially in relation to the revision of National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) and the implementation of the EU Digital Decade.

Mr. Mashiur brings extensive teaching and research experience, having worked for over a decade as a full-time teaching staff in the Department of Public Administration at Comilla University, Bangladesh.

Throughout his teaching career, Mr. Mashiur has taught a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including Governance and Leadership, Comparative Public Administration, Sociology of Administration, Organizational Behaviour, and Local Governance.

He holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in public administration from the University of Chittagong, Bangladesh.

He further pursued two European master's degrees: a Master of Arts in Leadership and Organisation from Malmö University, Sweden, and a Master of Administrative Sciences with a specialization in Leadership for Change: Governance for Sustainable Change from Tampere University, Finland.
