A little bit about me

I have had many different roles in my professional career but I increasingly see myself as an intermediary and a catalyst that makes things happen. My passion is science engagement and I love to mix different people and approaches in order to create inclusive spaces for novel encounters with knowledge. I use my cross-cultural expertise to support institutions working outside their comfort zone.

I believe that even if inclusion is a serious matter, we can explore it in a lively, secure and even playful way.

​

I am based between France and Croatia and I offer different services across Europe and beyond!

"Vanessa is a leading star of European science education and science communication. Her commitment to making science ‘in public' accessible, equitable and meaningfully inclusive for everyone has seen her lead the field on issues of social justice and science communication. There is no-one I’d rather work with!"
