Olga Steen

Information specialist

Supporting a knowledge-intensive organization in its most varied needs of information is the kind of challenge I love. For that reason I enjoyed working for Novay (previously Telematica Instituut) for the last 10 years. Together with my team we provided a modern and customer-oriented information center that delivered a range of tailor-made information services to projects, business developers and scientific staff, in addition to the right mix of digital resources. I love working in innovative, multidisciplinary and multicultural organizations where humor and fun are present. 

At the crossmedia lab I will use my expertise towards Crossbow, a knowledge base to support researchers and other members of the knowledge circle.

I'm originally Portuguese and I studied Software and Computer Engineering and Management Information Systems (MSc) at the University of Minho, Portugal. In the UK I have completed a certificate in Organizational management and more recently, already in the Netherlands, a course on Coaching of Professionals. I am currently busy with a Prince2 certification. Life long learning!

Since 1999 I live in the Netherlands where I have come to enjoy the chilly wind in my face when I cycle and herring, amongst other Dutch traditions. Given my international background, integration and cross-cultural issues are at the top of my list of interests. I am also active in helping expats during the integration period. And of course, I love traveling and experiencing different cultures.
