Role
Programme coordinator
Specialism
Coordination International Policy Officers Training (OAIB)

Within the Academy I am involved in many learning activities. Among others I work together with my colleagues on International Policy Officers Foreign Affairs (IBBZ), International Policy Officers Training (OAIB), Leadership and Management, Effective Coordination, Trade and Investment Promotion, writing courses, Economic Security, First 100 days at the department and a large number of courses about geographic regions and countries policy (like Asia and Oceania, Middle-East and North-Africa (MENA) and Sub-Sahara Africa).

As programme coordinator, I take care of the practical organisation in the broadest sense of the word. This contains the contact with trainers and speakers, venues, setting up the learning portal, communication and of course contact with you, the participants.

For the OAIB, I am the point of contact at the Academy. You can contact me with questions about this beautiful interdepartmental training programme.
