Biography
As an Associate Professor at 美女福利电影院午夜 in the Netherlands, my ambition lies in the harmonious integration of two vital themes: entrepreneurship and creativity. Through my work in education, research, and professional engagements, I aspire to intertwine these elements while upholding the values of sustainability and community. By fostering innovation and collaboration, I aim to empower individuals and organizations to explore new frontiers and make meaningful contributions to both society and the environment, through their activities in the arts and cultural and creative sectors.
I thrive on collaborative efforts to develop novel and practical solutions, exemplified by the following initiatives:
- Examining in cultural and creative sectors, in theory and practice, with colleagues from Erasmus University, other universities, and stakeholders in the Netherlands.
- Exploring self-curating skills in music as an alternative approach to entrepreneurship in the music industry, collaborating with colleagues from HoGent (Belgium) and music conservatories across Europe:
- Understanding joint value creation and entrepreneurship in the sustainability transition and circular economy, with a focus on the fashion and textiles industry, in partnership with colleagues from TuDelft (NL), Jagiellonian University (Poland), and University of Gothenburg (Sweden).
- Cultivating cross-sector partnerships and Art-Science-Technology collaborations (aligned with the values of the ) in conjunction with colleagues from Waag Society and HKU (NL).
- Leading business model innovation for the inclusion of participatory practices in museums and cultural heritage institutions within the context of the ReCharge (Horizon) project with many international partners:
If you find resonance with my objectives, feel free to reach out. I look forward to exploring potential avenues for cooperation.
