About me - Ron Dekker

I help research organisations, public bodies and international consortia navigate the complexity of European open science policy and funding.

With over 25 years of experience across senior roles – including Director of CESSDA ERIC and Project Coordinator of the €41M EOSC Future initiative – I bring a deep understanding of research infrastructures, open science & education, and EU funding systems. Currently I work on the impact of digitisation on education (in NL).

I offer strategic advice, interim leadership and policy expertise across a range of areas, with a particular focus on:
🔹 Open Science & FAIR Data
🔹 Research Infrastructures (CESSDA, EOSC, ESFRI)
🔹 Horizon Europe, Digital Europe
🔹 Grant process design and evaluation (EU and NL)
🔹 Governance & consortia development
