Annemarie van Zeijl - Rozema (A.E.)

Annemarie van Zeijl-Rozema graduated as a Master of Science in Tropical Land Use from Wageningen University, The Netherlands. She obtained her PhD at Maastricht University on “Regional sustainable development: Barriers in practice”.

Her main challenge is to connect science to practice and find ways for how to “do” sustainable development. A leading question is “How can science help to deal with sustainability problems that are inherently unstructured problems with no clear solution?”. She uses her knowledge about integrated assessment, joint knowledge production, co-creation, governance, sustainability indicators, and regional development to make a difference. Her interest lies both in developed and developing countries.
