PANACEA AND ME:

PANACEA is a special challenge and inspiration for me. While I stand firmly in marketing (and communication and dissemination), my primary responsibilities in the project team, I am making strides into a new area and concept of the Sharing Economy. With a great team of young researchers, who are already excellent experts in their fields, I am entering some new fields of knowledge and research. As a team, we learn from the world’s best experiences, but also from each other, to apply everything and share it with different stakeholders. Multidisciplinary research, the combination of science and practice, the transfer of world experiences in the field of the Sharing Economy, and the creation of a basis for strengthening the sharing community are just some of the reasons why PANACEA is a worthy research project. As a result, something good and useful can be done for the academic community, entrepreneurs, companies, institutions, consumers, and society.
