Philosophy:

With dreams of conducting projects that aim at having a better and easier world to live in, I have been worked hard as a manager and partner in many international projects. The projects relate to (i) Entrepreneurship and Valorization of Research and Institutionalization of Innovation Structures of Transfer and Exploitation of Knowledge in Europe and other countries, and (ii) cooperation between Europe and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This has garnered my experience and knowledge in North African culture and economy. I have gained excellent project-leadership skills throughout my work in management, a large network of contacts, good research skills, and expertise to create competence in university groups from different countries and cultures.
