Our team

Derk supports KIN as a transition researcher by helping to shape the tools and programmes so that they effectively support knowledge development in and for societal transitions.

Caroline focuses on initiating and connecting fundamental research on the climate system with the activities of the KIN.

Michiel focuses on the positioning and long-term strategy of KIN and strengthening institutional cooperation. He has final responsibility for all activities carried out by KIN and leads the team.

Mirko focuses on developing new programmes within the KIN.

Sander is designing a new KIN programme at the intersection of biodiversity and climate and is also involved in the first KIN project in Mozambique within Global Transitions.

Stephanie develops innovative methods and financing options to promote transdisciplinary and transformative projects and collaborations, with the aim of accelerating climate-related transitions. In addition, she manages KIN’s national initiatives.
