Helen Garrison

I work as a Project and Communications Manager for Public & Science Sweden and am based in my native country, the UK, having lived nine years in Sweden. I work with the team on projects that have an international dimension and am involved in a number of EU projects, including Inspiring ERA, LOESS and Re-MEND. In addition to project management, my work includes developing new projects, funding proposals, writing articles and reports, translating and creating online content. I am also responsible for the international newsletter.

Research knows no borders, and our societal challenges cannot be tackled effectively without dialogue between science and society, both within and across national borders. VA’s international strategy contributes towards this and also provides us with different perspectives and inspiration to inform our work and allow us to share it more widely.
