Saskia Lavrijssen

I am motivated to make the world a better place. In my work I am passionate about linking science with society and to work on big societal challenges such as combatting climate change and the energy transition. I am an open and transparent person and love to work in (multi)-disciplinary and diverse teams. I really enjoy coaching younger researchers stimulating them to be confident and to develop their own talents. The NEON project attracts me because of the large diversity and multi-disciplinarity of the project and the consortium. The energy transition is a big puzzle that can only be solved by integrating different perspectives and by linking the developments in the market with scientific insights. Ultimately, this will lead to an environment of co-creation resulting in scientific and societal breakthroughs.
