Recommendation letter for Ms Aline Heergeist
Dear Madam/Sir,
My name is Florian Trauner, and I am the Dean of Brussels School of Governance at the Vrije
Universiteit of Brussel. It is with big pleasure that recommend Aline Heergeist, who was my student in
my course “the Institutions and Governance of the European Union” as part of the Master’s program in
Political Science at Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium.
Aline demonstrated a clear understanding of the European Union governance structures, particularly in
her thoughtful analysis of legal frameworks like the Rule of Law. She consistently presented well-
supported arguments, showing a strong ability to think critically and communicate effectively.
Aline is reliable, organised, and consistently produces high-quality work. She works well both
independently and as part of a team, where she earned the respect of her peers. Her clear
communication, attention to detail, and strategic thinking will be assets in any professional setting.
I am confident that Aline’s work ethic, adaptability, and problem-solving skills will make her a valuable
addition to any team. I highly recommend her application and am available to provide additional
information if needed.
Please do not hesitate to contact me, if anything remains unclear.
Yours sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Florian Trauner
