Erin

Welcome to our new Communication Manager

We are pleased to announce that Mrs Erin Vera has just joined ILSI Europe’s team.  She is taking the lead of ILSI Europe’s external and internal communications as the new Communication Manager.

Erin has a journalistic ground experience. She is a qualified professional with Degrees and Masters in Journalism and International and EU politics in renowned Universities in Spain and Belgium.

After working at print, radio and television media in Spain, she moved to Brussels as an EU correspondent. Soon, she started to work as media relations and communication strategist for the EU institutions and in the past few years, she specialized on EU health and nutrition working for non-profit organisations such as the European Federation of Allergies of Airways Diseases (EFA) and her latest experience at the International Diabetes Federation, Europe (IDFE).

“Science is one of the pillars of Europe and its society. However, the importance of science is not always within reach and comprehensible for everyone. I strongly believe that communications is a powerful tool to build the bridge to make policy makers, stakeholders, media and citizens understand the needs and the path currently travelled by the scientific community and the industry committed with it.”
