Popescu holds a PhD and MA in International Relations from Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. He also holds a BA from Moscow State Institute of International Relations obtained in 2002.
Popescu is an associate professor at Sciences Po Paris since 2016. He also taught at the University of Barcelona (IELPO).
He is a member of the European Council on Foreign Relations in Paris, and an Officer of the Legion of Honour of France.
Quite a lot of influence by British elite universities.

Foreign Minister from 11 June to 14 November 2019,
