Policy Expert<\/h2>\n<p>Emma obtained her degree in Political Science from KU Leuven in 2018. In early 2019, she completed her Master of Governance Networks at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, acquiring a solid academic foundation and international experience. This background enables her to actively participate in policy-making and participation processes related to local energy and climate policy.<\/p>\n<p>Early in her career, she focused on translating and applying national regulations on quality management within the accountancy sector.<\/p>\n<p>In late 2020, Emma joined as a junior Expert in policy and participation in local energy, climate, and circular economy policy. Since then, she has been involved in various participation processes and policy developments, including the 2030 climate plans of the cities of Oostende and Turnhout, the development of a blueprint for &#8220;Business Parks of the Future&#8221; (POM West-Vlaanderen), and conducting a market study on shared facilities in business parks in Turnhout and Maasmechelen.<\/p>\n<p>In her spare time, Emma runs circus studio \u2018t Sirk vzw where she organises circus classes, workshops and camps. Together with her co-coordinator, she manages a team of 20 teachers. She was also active in the local youth council for many years. This experience has given her an in-depth insight into the workings of local advisory councils and the challenges faced by local authorities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#f4ff4f4&#8243; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;1%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;3%&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;1&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_color=&#8221;#f4f4f4&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_divider_height=&#8221;40%&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;curve_opacity&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-6-percent&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;right&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; column_padding_type=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][toggles style=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221;][toggle color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h3&#8243; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Management of the non-profit organisation Energiek Sint-Niklaas for the city of Sint-Niklaas&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h6>2024<\/h6>\n<p>Setting up the business structure of the non-profit organisation, overseeing daily operations, developing growth strategies, supporting membership management, and guiding process dynamics.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h3&#8243; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;At Last: supporting local governments in rolling out their climate plans on behalf of the European Commission.&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h6>2023-2026<\/h6>\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5 juice:w-full juice:items-end overflow-x-auto gap-2\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"0a0c81ab-440e-4ff4-8b88-4759bcdb9040\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 juice:empty:hidden juice:first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<p>LIFE project. the development and roll-out of an e-learning programme on financing, organising and monitoring projects resulting from local governments&#8217; climate plan.
