De Strateeg | Nederlandse grondstoffen als heilige graal in de energietransitie?
Aan het belang van strategische onafhankelijkheid op het gebied van grondstoffen en energievoorziening twijfelt niemand. Hoe kunnen we die strategische onafhankelijkheid en autonomie waarmaken? HCSS strategisch adviseur Jeff Amrish Ritoe en directeur Technologie en Duurzaamheid van Nobian, Marco Waas praten erover met Paul van Liempt in BNR’s podcast De Strateeg.
Clarice van der Paardt on modelling conflict, analysing hybrid threats and working at the intersection of data and security at HCSS
Hi! My name is Clarice van der Paardt and I was born and raised in Amsterdam. I found out about this internship through an AUC alumnus who had been at HCSS a few years earlier. When browsing HCSS’ projects and fields of research, the breadth of research topics really reflected the learning opportunities that this internship would offer me. I also read a lot of intern testimonials when familiarising myself with the internship programme. They helped a lot and made me excited to apply. Writing this therefore really feels like a full-circle moment!
