My passion in life is promoting formal and informal education and learning and I am working for more than 25 years in the fields of European Education, Training & Active Social Inclusion. 

 Initially, co-ordinating international academic cooperation and large Higher Education/ Research partnerships/projects for the Coimbra Group asbl, a Network of European Universities (co-founder) for ten years and for the MENON Network EEIG for five years, I spent some time later at the European Commission’s Education Agency as eLearning Project Officer, dealing with selections, monitoring and valorisation of European eLearning projects.

Today, collaborating with Higher Education institutions and research centres in European projects, I am also involved in external evaluation for the European Commission since 2010 and on demand for European projects.

Being part of the Steering Committee of OEB and Programme Team of two annual global conferences : eLearning Africa & OEB (Online Educa Berlin) engages my expertise and networking competence.
