My PhD Journey: A Catalyst for Change

As I stand at the threshold of a new academic adventure, I find myself in a building aptly named "The Catalyst." This marks the beginning of my PhD journey, and I am filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement. Over the next few years, I will be delving into the realms of strategic choice and regional development, aiming to make a meaningful impact in these fields.

Strategic management and regional development have always been areas of profound interest to me. I believe that through rigorous research and innovative thinking, we can foster significant improvements and drive progress. My ambition is for my research to serve as a catalyst for change, sparking new ideas and approaches that can transform these domains.

Embarking on this journey part-time while continuing my professional career presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. I am fortunate to be part of the new network of European Digital Innovation Hubs, which will play a crucial role in my research. This network acts as a prism, providing a multifaceted perspective and invaluable resources that I intend to leverage throughout my studies.

The path ahead promises to be demanding yet immensely rewarding. I look forward to sharing my experiences, insights, and findings with you as I navigate this exciting journey. Stay tuned for updates and reflections on my progress, and join me as I strive to become a catalyst for positive change in the world of strategic management and regional development.

Thank you for accompanying me on this adventure. Here’s to the exciting years ahead!
