About me
As Director Innovation at European Aluminium. I developed the Innovation Hub platform, which aims to enable collaboration between the aluminium industry and the EU research community in order to boost the decarbonisation and circularity agenda of thesector. This includes involvement in multiple high-profile EU projects under Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe framework as well as the development of collaborative projects directly financed by the membership. Through the innovation Hub, we collaborate with members and with many stakeholders especially EU institutions (mostly JRC & European Commission services), academia, RTOs and public-private partnerships, like Processes4Planet as a Board member. Additionally, I am also the manager of the METALS FOR BUILDINGS alliance which aims at promoting the benefits of metal products in the European building sector from a sustainability perspective.
