Alongside her teaching responsibilities, Mila plays an active role in academic projects and networks. Since 2022, she has been a member of the Horizon Twinning project Advancing Cooperation on the Foundations of Law – ALF, contributing to collaborative research, publications, and capacity-building activities.

Mila has presented her research at major international conferences, including the IVR World Congress in Seoul and Bucharest, the Annual Meeting of the Research Committee on Sociology of Law in Lund, and the Central and Eastern European Forum of Young Legal Theorists in Sarajevo. Her papers have explored themes such as judicial performance, access to justice, reproductive technologies, and racial biases in legal systems. These contributions reflect her broader commitment to combining theoretical and empirical approaches to questions of justice, law, and social inequality.
Her academic excellence has been recognized with numerous awards and scholarships, such as the SYLFF Fellowship, the “Dositeja” Scholarship of the Fund for Young Talents, the Slobodan Perović Award at the Kopaonik School of Natural Law, and an exchange fellowship at the University of Graz.
