Recently, we have welcomed two new colleagues at ECS. Post Doc Lisa Ploum and guest researcher Daniele Tubino.

Lisa Ploum, Post Doc

Lisa will start as a Post Doc at ECS. Recently, she defended her PhD on competencies for sustainable entrepreneurship, which she executed at the Management Studies Group of Wageningen University. She has developed a competence framework that can be used as a monitor instrument in education as well and focused on the enactment of those competencies by sustainable entrepreneurs. Thomas Lans has been her co-promotor and they have been working on several other projects that are related to entrepreneurship education as well. As a result and continuation of their collaborative work, this Post Doc position was created. In the coming year(s) they will work on projects (research and practice based) that are centred around entrepreneurship education, with a special focus on sustainable development. Furthermore, she will be involved in teaching activities within the entrepreneurship track. She is really excited to start this new chapter of her professional career.
