On the above mentioned topics I also supervise PhD candidates - if you are interested in pursuing a PhD trajectory on these topics, feel free to contact me.

Valorisation activities also belong to my tasks, e.g.:

In May 2014 I participated as an expert in an EU-panel on SMART regions, in September 2014 I gave a presentation at a seminar on BioSolarCells, and November 2014 I was invited to address the BeGood Energy Festival in Alkmaar. I have been a member of evaluation and accreditation panels (Quanu, Hobéon, NVAO), and juries (e.g. DfG, Deutsche Forschungs Gemeinschaft). In the past I was a visiting professor at the Ulster Business School (2003 -2010), "lector" at the Saxion University of Applied Sciences
