Kathrin Winkler – EC
Kathrin Winkler is currently a Seconded National Expert to the Unit of Open Science and Research Infrastructures at the European Commission’s Directorate General for Research and Innovation. Before she was a programme director at the German Research Foundation (DFG), the major funding organisation for curiosity-driven research in Germany. For three years she was responsible for some of DFG’s programmes in the area of information systems as well as for DFG’s representation in European organisations, such as the EOSC Association, Knowledge Exchange or Science Europe’s working group on Open Science. Prior to her current work, Kathrin headed the DFG-Office Latin America in São Paulo, Brazil, from 2015 to 2020, which is concerned with DFG’s international relations with funding organisations and scientific institutions in Latin America. She is a chemist by training and received her doctorate in 2003 in the field of physical chemistry at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen. After several years in biophysical research at the Freie Universität Berlin, Kathrin joined DFG in 2008, where she was a programme director for physical chemistry until 2015. During that time, she also coordinated the European network ERA-Chemistry and managed bi- and multilateral initiatives for research collaboration in chemistry.
