LNCMI Toulouse.
After a bachelor degree in literature, I decided to continue my scientific career aiming at a master degree at Aix-Marseille University, a master of European and International Relations studies with a specialization in European project management and European programs. During these studies, I discovered my interest for European research and innovation programs. Therefore, after a traineeship at the University Lyon 2 as an assistant of project management, I finished my master with a dissertation on Horizon 2020 and France’s position on calls for projects. Then, I had the opportunity to join the LNCMI team in Toulouse for the project ISABEL, as European Project Manager. I am interested in the goals that EMFL wants to achieve through the ISABEL project. I am also attracted by its commitment to bring the importance of research infrastructures and their development, through various types of collaboration, to the intention of the general public and policymakers. Indeed, since my traineeship in a research environment, I want to help to reinforce European research networks and actions. To be a project manager is to act on various levels (administrative, financial, legal, communication…), to collaborate with international partners, and to find effective and efficient ways to implement the project altogether. I really appreciate the multi-tasking aspect of my job and the multicultural aspect of the teams I am working with. For example, the project ISABEL gathers 9 countries all around Europe and we all come from different professional backgrounds. I find this really enriching on both professional and personal levels. Now, I am looking forward to working together!
