Nina Valin is a PhD student in the department of Environmental Policy Analysis of the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. In parallel, she has started a Post-doctoral position in food and agriculture systems transitions at Wageningen University & Research, where she is part of the Horizon 2020 PLAN'EAT project as a research coordinator.

She has a dual background in social and natural sciences, after she specialized in both public policies at Sciences Po Paris and in environmental sciences at AgroParisTech during her master studies. Her core research interest revolves around the role of the science-policy interface in EU environmental studies. Her PhD project in particular (part of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie NEWAVE network) addresses the role of the interplay between experts and policy makers in water policy innovations. This analysis is conducted on the whole policy cycle of the EU Water Framework Directive, from the adoption to the evaluation and implementation phases.
