Since the last newsletter, Dialogic has gained 5 new employees! For the story behind the faces:
Guido is currently working towards his master's degree at Utrecht University, specializing in Business Informatics. He started at Dialogic in September 2006 as a research assistant for 2 days a week to assist with various research projects.
Barbera studied General Social Sciences with a specialization in 'Communication Studies' at Utrecht University. In 2006, she completed her studies with a thesis focusing on the electronic government. Since October 2006, Barbera has worked as a researcher and advisor at Dialogic, being involved in projects related to electronic government and technology policy (encouraging STEM studies).
Bram graduated from Tilburg University with an MSc. in Organisation Studies, specializing in 'Strategy & Innovation and Network Configuration'. Within Dialogic, he works on innovation policy and quantitative methods.
There have also been significant changes in the secretariat in recent months. Due to long-term illness of two secretariat members, Kristel and Floor were recruited in September to strengthen the secretariat.
Kristel has recently obtained her bachelor's degree in General Social Sciences. She intends to continue her studies next year and complete a master's degree. During this 'gap year', she is taking on secretarial tasks at Dialogic.
Floor studied Dutch Language and Culture at Utrecht University, specializing in 'language change and variation'. Her thesis was on 'early foreign language education' (specifically: English in the first year of primary education). At Dialogic, she is mainly involved in providing secretarial support.
In addition to the five new employees, there has been an intern at Dialogic since November 2006: Marijn Plomp. Marijn is a final-year master's student in Information Science at Utrecht University. His internship project focuses on 'chain digitisation and innovation position in the Dutch retail sector'. He hopes to learn a lot not only in terms of content but also experience the ins and outs of a 'real company'.
We have said goodbye to two employees. Liesbeth Verhagen left Dialogic in June 2005. She now works as a ladies' fashion buyer at de Bijenkorf, where she found a job more in line with her educational background. Furthermore, her passion has always been in fashion, which she is able to pursue in her current role. Marian Bos helped out Dialogic during the summer months by assisting in the secretariat. She is currently working as a teacher of classical and energetic massage at the Holos Academy for massage therapy in Utrecht.
