As International Relations and Communications Manager, I work mainly on VA’s European projects and international collaborations such as ORION Open Science; BLOOM bioeconomy; and SciShops. I also work on EU policy issues through the national advocacy platform for Science with and for Society (SwafS) and I am responsible for VA’s and the ORION’s project newsletters.
As a Swedish expert organisation for open science, citizen science and science communication, VA has an important role to play in promoting collaboration, dialogue and debate between actors within academia, policymaking, society and industry at national, European and international levels.
Science, research and innovation have no borders. Through collaboration, inclusion and knowledge exchange at different levels, we seek to achieve sustainable societal development.
