Lisa is the academic coordinator Entrepreneurship for Wageningen University. She connects education, research and value creation in the domain of entrepreneurship. Focusing on students, teachers, researchers and the wider ecosystem enables her to design, implement and evaluate curricular and extra-curricular programs to stimulate the entrepreneurial mind-set. She is based at Corporate Value Creation group and also works for the Education and Learning Sciences chairgroup.
She holds a PhD on competence development for sustainable entrepreneurship, continuing that line of work in current research and strategy development as well. Her dream is to make the WUR the heart of sustainable entrepreneurship in Europe. At AMS she is involved in two courses on entrepreneurship, namely Entrepreneurial Thinking and Entrepreneurial Skills. In these courses’ students are in charge of their own learning process; coming up with, and testing a solution for a metropolitan challenge. Working closely together with staff of AMS and the municipality, students work on solving pressing issues. Lisa is also involved as a coach for the Living Lab, acts as a chair for the Program Committee and supports the AMS start-up Booster.
