Legal Support for Research and Valorisation
I am a Legal Advisor at UGent TechTransfer within Ghent University. In this role, I provide legal support for research collaborations and valorisation projects, including drafting, advising on, and reviewing contracts, paying close attention to both contractual and intellectual property aspects. I have worked as a lawyer for eight years, gaining solid experience in legal practice and advisory, which enables me to offer effective guidance on contracts and compliance. I joined the PROVAXS team in 2025, where I continue to support the legal aspects of research, collaboration, and valorisation activities.
