View Lindes profileLinde van Ittersum research funding professional at Fundament

Linde (1985) is a strong conceptual thinker with excellent skills in translating research outcomes into a plan for real impact. With her background in Liberal Arts, she is one of the few research funding professionals with vast experience in drafting proposals in the domain of Social Sciences and Humanities. Having worked as a strategist for an FP7 project on EU health systems policy she is also very comfortable working in other domains. While she has a glorious track record in ERC and RIA funded project proposals, she has a thing for collaborative strategy development, both for institutes and individual researchers. Linde has worked as a research funding professional since 2010 and has since developed a strong sense of what European and Dutch funding organisations are looking for. Her insight into societal impact comes in handy for a wide array of funding programmes.
