- Remaining on top of all major EU environment-relevant policy developments and trends in your area, as well as relevant scientific developments;
- Identifying and helping to secure sources of funding for the future work of the EEB and in particular those areas under your responsibility - in close coordination with the cluster and thematic leads who are actively engaged in fundraising;
