Anouk Bollen, who is affilliated with the Faculty of Law at Maastricht University, is Director of Studies LL.M. in Tax Law and Director of Studies LL.M in International and European Tax Law.

Since 2015 she has been director of the Institute for Transnational and Euregional Cross Border Cooperation and Mobility/ITEM, where she, besides management tasks, also deals with the institute's content, in particular in the field of Cross Border Pension Tax Law.

Her research among other things focuses on the optimal fiscal pension qualification that could increase cross border labour mobility as well as on improvement of cross border pension information provision from a fiscal perspective. 

In that respect she is already working substantively on a blueprint of a pension tracking system, in cooperation with dr. Lisa Brüggen of the Maastricht University School of Business and Economics. The research contributes to TTYPE, Track and Trace Your Pension in Europe: the European pension information system that the EU strives to achieve and has already aroused interest amongst several parties in Europe and the U.S.

Within Maastricht University Anouk Bollen also performs other cross border activities like the recently signed cooperation agreement between the Faculties of Law of Maastricht University and the University of Aruba. This cooperation realises the start of the Double Degree Master Programme of International and European Tax Law at the University of Aruba in September 2016.
