Work update: I will be leaving the @utrechtuniversity.

As of April 1st, I will start as programme leader Open Scholarly Communication as part of the National Initiative Open Science.

Together with all Dutch knowledge institutions, we aim to make open science the norm in the years to come.

I am honored and proud to be able to contribute to this in the coming years.
