Biography

Dr. Verena Hachmann has over 10 years of experience with transnational cooperation as a researcher, and as coordinator and evaluator of both projects and programmes. After having been involved in EU and Nordic cooperation, she is currently working as a coordinator for two research and cooperation programmes in the transport field at the Norwegian Research Council.

Hachmann brings a rigorous approach to bear, analysing cooperation, one that is sure, not only to enlighten us about why, but also to work towards improving learning as an approach to policy making.’ Andreas Faludi, Delft, The Netherlands
