expert in EU research policy & Horizon 2020, focused on open access and FAIR/open data policy

After six years as senior policy officer for open access and open data in the European Commission I am exploring new enriching professional opportunities in open science & EU research policy (Horizon 2020/Horizon Europe) as of September 2018.

My key skills: team player able to adapt quickly to new policy areas, efficient worker with a strong capacity to plan, analyse and deliver on time, excellent communication and writing skills, solid experience in coordinating policy development within Commission services and in interaction with relevant stakeholders.

I  offer

Advocacy/policy-making activities (including grant writing & training) in the areas of:

(i) open access to scientific peer-reviewed publications and open research data (open / FAIR research data) policies

(ii) European research policy & programmes, in particular the Horizon 2020 European Research Framework Program and its successor Horizon Europe.

(iii) Communication, dissemination and exploitation of results with the aim of ensuring the concrete applicability of scientific results in the policy sphere and enabling the interaction with all stakeholders, including the citizens.

Examples of recent work:

• Rapporteur for the EU Expert Group on Open Access in Malta (Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility) 
• Senior Non-Key Expert on Open Access in Azerbaijan (Europe Aid Project “Strengthening Research Development and Innovation in Higher Education in Azerbaijan”)  
• Policy Brief on Horizon Europe Budget in the EU’s Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027 (in German)
