Bénédicte Blaudeau

Previously Representative for the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE), within the Maison Irène et Frédéric Joliot-Curie, the French research and innovation platform in Brussels; I am now Policy Officer for Environment, Bioeconomy and urban policy within the representation of the Pays de la Loire Region (Western France) in Brussels. I carry out missions of advocacy and representation at the European level. I liaise with regional actors, including direct contact with cities, and European stakeholders, notably through participation in a series of networks. In this way, I contribute to supporting European project development in the region.
