My name is Meltem, and I am a lecturer in EU policy and politics and host of Maastricht Talks Europe vodcast. I have experience in United Nations peacebuilding projects, including the Peace Begins with Her project in New York and Geneva.

Briefly, my areas of expertise lie in EU-level policy, particularly in gender equality, sustainability (Inner Development Goals), and participatory democracy. Additionally, I have worked on EU cohesion policy and multi-level governance.

You can engage me for a range of professional activities, including:

• Guest lectures on EU politics, policies, and institutions;
• Masterclasses and workshops on the Inner Development Goals framework, e.g. empathetic leadership- an IDG perspective;
• Podcast/vodcast collaborations;
• Guest lectures on peacebuilding;
• Guest lectures on the conflict in Cyprus.

I possess working-level proficiency in both English and Dutch.
