Marjo van der Valk is manager of the Regional Leonardo Bureau of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e-RLB). Since the start of the Leonardo Programme in 1995, she is responsible for the execution of the Leonardo mobility projects. TU/e-RLB is a consortium of Universities in the mid and southern part of The Netherlands. Each year the consortium submits successfully pool applications for mobility grants for students and recent graduates.

During the long experience a lot of attention is paid to efficient procedures and tools for project management. The consortium continued its activities under the Life Long Learning Program and is currently running projects for students under the ERASMUS placement Program line and for graduates under the LEONARDO Program line. Furthermore Marjo van der Valk was and is partner in several Leonardo pilot projects on various subjects. Besides her job as manager of TU/e-RLB she is also board member of two international networks: - Leo-Net, THE practical internship support network throughout Europe and beyond; EMPLOI the special interest group for Employability skills, graduate careers and internships within the EAIE.

She was chair of EMPLOI the last four years and as such she would be pleased to continue offering her personal knowledge about running an international Network and executing international (mobility) projects. Furthermore Marjo would stay more than willing to help, advise and train ‘newcomers’ and use her contacts for all kinds of EMPLOI activities.
