She holds a masters in Social & Organizational Psychology from Leiden, and a Psychology bachelor from the University of California, Davis.
Curious how you could make an impact on today’s biggest issues? Come join the dialogue.
Eva Schouten - Sustainability Consultant at The Terrace
During her Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology Bachelor, Eva started investigating the world behind our products. Simply looking at their labels didn’t really cut it. She started researching the social circumstances in a small-scale gold mine in Tanzania, the effect of certification in cocoa production in Ghana, and then started working as a Sustainability Consultant.
At The Terrace, she supports businesses to better understand the sustainability impact they have and helps them improve. Companies she works with are for instance Albert Heijn, The Port of Amsterdam and Danone. In 2021 Eva was awarded as one of the 100 Young Sustainable Leaders in The Netherlands, more about this you can read here. With our economy being highly connected, social and environmental sustainability needs to be looked at across borders and we need to understand human behaviors and power dynamics. This is what a social scientist brings to the table.
Join this talk and Q&A with Eva on Wednesday 2 Feb at 16.30 hrs to hear more.
Ruth Pasternak – Project leader Sustainable Education at SME
This presentation will be in Dutch. You can find more information on the Dutch website.

Kom naar de workshop met Lotte en Fair Future Generators op donderdag van 15.45-16.30 uur!
Emma van Bree – Senior policy officer zero emissions (city)logistics
Note: this talk is in Dutch!
In my career, the most important goal is to have a positive impact on the world. That's why I work on the topic of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, as the way we move around currently has an enormous negative impact on our environment. I do this at different levels: at the ministry of Infrastructure and Waterstate, and at the Municipality of Leiden.
Join the talk and Q&A with Emma on Thursday from 16:30-16:55.
Chantal Blom – Statistics Netherlands (CBS)
During the Master’s specialization Social and Organisational Psychology Chantal was an intern at the central bank of the Netherlands (DNB) at the department of governance, behaviour and culture.
She was also the manager of Leiden University Green Office where she was supporting the university in becoming more sustainable. This led to her decision to also study the Master’s Industrial Ecology. Now she is conducting research on the cutting edge of the environment and economics at Statistics Netherlands. She works on projects commissioned by Eurostat and other external clients. The statistical information and data insights from Statistics Netherlands are used as input for social debates, policy development and decision-making.
Are you wondering what it is like to be an environmental-economic researcher/data scientist? Or do you have questions about your next steps? Then join the interactive session on Thursday 16:55-17:20 in which Chantal is happy to answer your questions.
