Hi there, I’m Adelaide. I’m Italian and will be the new copywriter for Copernicus EMS, reinforcing the comm team with André and Fabio. Actually I am not a real newcomer! I had already worked at the JRC Ispra in 2015 as a trainee in the Communication Unit at the JRC visitors' centre. And then I had been responsible for the scientific communication activities in F.3 unit (better known as ECVAM…yes, everyone at the JRC loves acronyms!!!) for six years. You might think that I studied communication or similar. Well, not exactly. I am a scientist with a strong passion for communicating scientific topics. I graduated in Environmental Science in Italy and then received a PhD in Chemistry in Ireland.
