Research
Sonja Vilenius is currently writing a PhD thesis on community benefit agreement, a regulatory instrument applied mainly in the mining context.

The focus of the research lies in the reasons for implementing this new regulatory instrument and its application possibilities. The thesis is theoretically engaging with regulatory theory.
