As a project coordinator with a background in Forest & Nature Conservation and Sustainable Business & Innovation, I aim to contribute to the establishment of a transdisciplinary social-ecological education and research hub in the landscape of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. This strategic alliance between the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development and Stichting National Park Utrechtse Heuvelrug will allow the institute to strengthen its transdisciplinary education and research within this important region for nature, social recreation, housing and mobility.
