Gijs has a preference for both practical projects like building charging networks for electric cars, organising large scale conferences on the other side of the globe and making sustainability into practical applications. Gijs has leaded many complex (research) projects like key numbers for charging infrastructure, a summer school in Belarus and an analytics tool for the heat transition in current buildings as well as market analyses for electric mobility.

Gijs uses his international experience to easily navigate between interests and get people together while moving forward. His enthusiasm for complex problems ensures his teams maintain their motivation and work successfully.
