Science Communication and Outreach
I strongly believe that as scientists our job is not only to make discoveries but also to promote communication and transfer of knowledge to the public. In parallel with my intense research program I am actively involved in outreach and science communication, including:
As a Marie Curie Fellow I have taken the opportunity to attended EU high level meetings where scientists interact with political leaders, policy makers, stake-holders and industry representatives, such as:
