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!
