Tomas van den Broeke is a Consultant at Technopolis BV in Amsterdam, conducting research and consultancy work focused on innovation, science policy, education systems and international cooperation. Tomas has over 4 years of experience on the interface of research and policy, conducting projects primarily for the European Commission and Flemish and Dutch governmental institutes, but also a range of ministries/departments in Africa, North America and Australia, NGO’s, international organisations and knowledge institutes. He has extensive experience in policy design, evaluations (ex-ante, durante and ex-post) and impact analyses and often applied methods include portfolio analysis, case studies, interviews, focus groups and surveys. Tomas has also experience in various foresight methodologies such as Delphi. In addition, he has organised and given various workshops for policy makers, researchers and managers of knowledge institutes.
Prior to working at Technopolis, Tomas has worked as a project leader for ScienceWorks, a project- and consultancy firm that serves as an intermediary between government, knowledge institutes and industry, and the AESIS Network, an international not-for-profit network dedicated to advancing and evaluating the societal impact of science. With these organisations, he developed an impact framework for the council of the Flemish University of Applied Sciences (VLHORA), and organised and coordinated workshops with KU Leuven and Leiden University, on how to involve entrepreneurs and societal organisations in research programmes (ultimately leading to more societal output).
Tomas holds two Masters (in Political Science and in Philosophy) from Leiden University, a Bachelor in Philosophy from Utrecht University and has spent a semester abroad at the University of Western Cape (South Africa). He is fluent in Dutch and English and has basic knowledge of German.
