Setting up a national strategy and organising a national consultation on the Netherlands Open Science Plan (NPOS2030), involving broad stakeholder engagement.

Provided strategic guidance on the governance and development of European research infrastructures and their role within the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) ecosystem.

Setting up strategy plan, getting involved in large EU-infrastructures projects; increasing membership from 16 to 23 EU-countries.

Initiating and coordinating on European Open Access Policy. I was project leader at the Dutch Ministry of Science. Tangible results were the Amsterdam Call for Action on Open Science and contributing to the Conclusions of the EU Competitive Council of May 2016.

The EU Edge Observatory monitors the evolution of the climate neutral and secure edge node landscape and ecosystem across the EU Member States. I coordinated the tender application, incl. budgeting, and have been leading the project until 2023.

EOSC Future aimed to build a sustainable European Open Science Cloud. As Project Director, I led this €41M Horizon Europe project with 105 partners across Europe. I was responsible for strategic coordination, partner engagement, and delivery of key milestones.; my role involved both high-level steering and operational oversight.

This project, (Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud) with 20+ partners, was a Horizon 2020 project that aimed to build the social sciences and humanities (SSH) component of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). I led the grant application and coordinated the project. A main result was the creation of the SSH Open Marketplace: Home | Social Sciences & Humanities Open Marketplace. A spin-off was the establishment of five Science Clusters – covering all European research infrastructures – that managed to attain high visibility in EOSC and the EC.
