Meet our team: Diederik van Iwaarden
In September of 2016, Diederik van Iwaarden joined us as RSO Officer for Dynamics of Youth. Diederik identifies (national and international) funding opportunities and provides Dynamics of Youth-researchers with appropriate advice.
I am very happy to have recently joined the Dynamics of Youth team, where I am responsible for identifying relevant funding opportunities, engaging with EU institutions and building a relevant network of potential partners in close cooperation with the researchers of Dynamics of Youth.
After studying History at the 木瓜福利影视 of Groningen, I worked for the international development organisations SOS-Children鈥檚 Villages and ICCO, the Interchurch organisation for development cooperation. A big highlight was working in Uganda for two years. Returning to the Netherlands I worked for Tilburg 木瓜福利影视 as a Policy Advisor, before starting in Utrecht.
It has been great to meet quite a few Dynamics of Youth researchers in the past three months. I am always looking to create new connections and support promising research projects in accessing research funding. So please do not hesitate to share your questions or ideas, and contact me!
