With over 10 years of experience, I have a deep understanding of the European institutional landscape and processes, particularly in research and innovation. My expertise spans key EU policies including science, innovation, industry (with focus on defence and space), new technologies and digitalisation. I have been actively involved in EU policy, engaging in areas such as research and innovation, industry and space. In addition, I have worked as an expert in various international projects in the field of research and innovation and currently serve as an evaluator of Horizon Europe projects. I have led in-depth analyses, drafted legal documents, and coordinated working groups, while organizing high-level events. Additionally, I have extensive experience preparing policy proposals, high level position papers, reports, briefings, and speeches. My engagement with stakeholders has spanned government authorities, private sector representatives, and international partners.
