Since September of last year, I can proudly call myself a member of the EMFL coordination team. My name is Zilan Kilic and I was born and raised in the Netherlands. I have a background in International Business and Communication. During my studies, I built a strong foundation in marketing principles and techniques, including market research, branding, and digital marketing. I completed my internship at Royal Philips as a CRM (customer relationship management) and audience management intern, where I gained valuable experience and improved my knowledge of online marketing. I pursued an international minor in Political Communication at the University of Agder in Norway. For the previous three years, I have worked as a Project Manager for Tech and Energy at the East Netherlands Regional Investment Agency (Oost NL). Oost NL aims to promote the economic development of the Gelderland and Overijssel provinces by attracting foreign investments. As a project manager, I have supported entrepreneurs and organizations in the technology and energy sectors throughout the entire process of setting up businesses and fostering growth in our region. During my time at Oost NL, I have built a strong network and established valuable professional relationships. Currently, I have the pleasure to work for EMFL and the Radboud University as an European project officer. I coordinate, together with all my colleagues in the EMFL coordination team, the daily tasks of EMFL. It is a true pleasure working with my European colleagues from all over our continent. I will be visiting HZDR soon for more in-person meetings and looking forward to it. Although I do not have a scientific background, the community has welcomed me with open arms. I am looking forward to meeting with you all; do not hesitate to reach out to me.
