Melanie Imming

I’m a consultant with a firm basis in project management.
I know a thing or two about Open Science and Digital Cultural Heritage.
I am experienced in strategy development and engaging stakeholders.
I would love to work with you.

If you are looking for someone to help you create maximum impact, please contact me below. See my portfolio for my current and previous works.

With years of experience helping leading cultural and academic organisations develop their strategy, I’m known for my hands on mentality and experience in managing risks and sustainability planning.

I’m involved in different expert networks such as the Europeana Members Council, the RDA, the Digital Research Academy, the Netherlands Council for Culture and the grassroots network of Open Science Communities.

in 2022, I also founded IM Studio, together with art director Mathijs van Woerkum. We combine strong strategic understandings with expertise in conceptual and visual development. IM studio helps to convey ideas and information via a broad range of visual communications. See IM-studio.eu for more information and our shared portfolio.

«Melanie helped us to set up a comprehensive engagement strategy for our Open Science programme, and together with Mathijs from IM Studio she created beautiful infographics to illustrate its outlines and goals. They are both very pleasant to work with, and skilled at turning complex concepts into clear text and visuals.»

Her extensive international network really helped to come up with a great line up of speakers and interactive sessions.

«While working for LIBER Melanie exceeded her job requirements. Feedback from project partners is that Melanie tries to listen to all groups and comes up with the best solution for everyone. An example like the LIBER Open Science Café at the EU Presidency Conference, that came about as a result of Melanie’s initiative, raised LIBER’s profile and showed Melanie’s innovativeness and ability to mobilise the team.»
