  • Use strengths across the biotechnology landscape, including small companies, patients and national priorities to build a compelling advocacy narrative for Europe
  • Build relationships across institutions and extend the reach of EuropaBio messaging using a variety of mechanisms, including direct interactions, social media narratives and working with KoL within the EuropaBio Board
  • Represent EuropaBio in external activities across institutions and develop further networks and relationships linked to Council priorities
  • Must have full permission to work in Belgium;
