Nils-Sjard Schulz holds a Masters Degree in Social Sciences from the Humboldt University in Berlin and a specialization in International Relations from the Complutense University in Madrid. His research focuses on the new aid architecture and is complemented by consultancies on aid effectiveness for several European and international organisms.

His current projects at FRIDE are focused on the global governance of aid, addressing the impact of donor harmonisation on partner countries' democratisation, the implications of international division of labour and South-South cooperation.

In 2008 he collaborated with the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) at the OECD in the evaluation of the Paris Declaration (thematic study on aid effectiveness and development effectiveness, see pdf), the 2008 Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration and the Accra High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness.
