Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to work at the intersection of research, communication, and strategic project development within the framework of European-funded programmes. From managing dissemination strategies to shaping exploitation pathways and translating complex scientific results into accessible narratives, my work has centered on one key goal: making research matter, beyond deadlines, and into the world.
As Communication, Dissemination & Exploitation Manager for several Horizon Europe and H2020 projects, I’ve had the chance to build impactful narratives around innovation, while ensuring alignment with funder expectations, stakeholder needs, and measurable outcomes. These projects have involved close collaboration with scientific partners, policy institutions, and private-sector stakeholders across Europe.
What I bring to the table
- Experience managing CDE work packages for EU projects, from concept to final review.
- A background in research, with a PhD in Social and Human Sciences, and the ability to engage both scientific and non-specialist audiences.
- Strong writing and editorial skills, from policy briefs and reports to branding assets and stakeholder content.
- Ability to translate and summarise knowledge to different contexts, including video production and social media content.
- Proven success organizing training, webinars, and public-facing events aligned with impact goals.
- Multilingual communication (Italian, English, Spanish), with a deep cultural understanding of European research landscapes.
Looking Ahead
As EU projects evolve and demand greater visibility, stakeholder engagement, and long-term sustainability, I see a growing need for integrated communication roles within technical teams, not just to fulfill formal obligations, but to unlock the true value of the work being done.
I’m willing to expand my collaborations where I can contribute my experience to innovative research environments that want to elevate their communication and impact. If your team is working on something that needs clear messaging, thoughtful dissemination, or strategic exploitation planning, I’d love to talk!
Let’s make research visible, valuable, and actionable.
