About

Welcome to my Science Spaces!

I am a biologist with several years of experience in science management, coordination of 10+ partners research projects, grant writing, and organisation of training and scientific events.

I have created Science Spaces to support scientists across Europe in doing their research, promote it and get the necessary training and funding for it.

Through Science Spaces I deliver:

  • Tailored services for the preparation of research, training and science outreach proposals, as well as project management in the academia and public sector at large.
  • Professional training in project management, science outreach and public engagement, gender and equality in science.

Promoting science in the society, supporting young generations of scientists, as well as promoting more equality of opportunities in research is at the heart of my interests.
