Recently she completed several projects on the role of national parliaments in EU decision making. She has coordinated and conducted various contracted research projects, amongst others on the Europeanization of legislative drafting (Ministry of Justice), the position of Dutch provinces in EU policy making (Association of Provinces of the Netherlands) and the functioning of the Early Warning System (Dutch House of Representatives). At present, she conducts research into the EU-related attitudes of national civil servants. In the period 2017-2021 she will conduct research on the role of European Administrative Networks in EU implementation, together with Dorte Sindbjerg Martinsen, made possible by a grant from the Danish Council for Independent Research.

Currently, Ellen Mastenbroek supervises two PhD projects on EU implementation (Elena Bondarouk, Nora Dörrenbächer). She is director of EUROPAL, a multidisciplinary research group on Europeanization of Policy and Law based at Radboud University (together with prof. Henri de Waele).
