Profile

I am currently working on the CORE EU project which aims to demonstrate how information infrastructures for international trade can facilitate supply chain visibility, reduce administrative burden and facilitate trade. In CORE I am involved in R&D related to public-private governance, in key project demonstrators and management tasks. My activities in CORE are a continuation of earlier R&D work that I did in the ITAIDE EU project at the VU University Amsterdam.

Research

Information infrastructures for international trade hold the promise to increase supply chain visibility, improve safety and security, reduce administrative burdens and accelerate trade. The fundamental question however is How to create the proper environment to foster the development of such infrastructures in a complex multi-stakeholder environment? Key topics of my research include mobilization of collective action for initiation and upscaling of such infrastructures, cost/ benefit sharing, and public- private governance.
