Speaker
Description
The Dutch astronomy community is internationally recognized for its scientific excellence and strong collaboration across institutes. Sustaining this strength requires continued coordination, visibility, and accessible channels for collaboration.
In this presentation, I will briefly introduce my relatively new role as NOVA’s Research and Community Coordinator and outline ongoing efforts to support alignment and exchange across the Netherlands. In the short term, these efforts focus on improving visibility and connection within the community; in the longer term, they contribute to building a resilient, well-organized, and well-funded national network.
A central step in this process is the launch of our new community website and portal. Designed as a shared digital home for Dutch astronomy, the platform enables researchers to find information more easily, connect across institutes, and identify opportunities for collaboration. By centralizing communication and lowering practical barriers, it strengthens our sense of community and supports a cohesive and engaged network. I will introduce the platform and discuss how it can further connect and support us all.
