“Ilse did a fantastic job as project manager […] I was especially pleased with the structure and content that she provided for the final report on the pilot phase. Her understanding of ethics of technology in combination with her analytical and writing skills led to a report that will assist us greatly in moving forward with our initiative.”

“Ilse has worked for me as assistant director of the Dutch Research School of Philosophy (OZSW) […] She is quite exceptional in her way of combining a very independent and pro-active attitude with a perfect intuition of the moment when, either because more input is needed, or for reasons of transparency, the time has come to discuss things with others, or to inform other parties.”

“Ilse did an exceptional job as the organizer of the 2011 HDCA annual conference in The Hague. […] As the HDCA’s Administrator, I know that this view is shared by others within the association. The structure and processes that Ilse put in place have served as a model for subsequent conference organizers.”
