Last week, I joined the ICAI @opengov.nl lab as the lab's fourth PhD student! It's a dual position; I will also be working as an information consultant for the Rijksorganisatie voor Informatiehuishouding, part of the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. Very excited to begin this journey!
