Virginia van der Ster-van der Wel is a policy advisor digitalisation at the National Agency Erasmus+. In this role she is responsible for developing and implementing a cross-sector digitalisation policy and supporting practices within the framework of the E+ programme. Before starting at the National Agency, Virginia worked in Higher Education for 16 years as a policy officer Global Engagement and was steering group member of EAIE's Expert Community Mobility Advising for 6 years.
In the past years Virginia extended her expertise in international education to the area of digital education for all educational fields.
Virginia finds it interesting to also look at digital education in relation to the other priorities of the Erasmus+ Programme. In that context Virginia was also squad leader for the Diversity-Equity-Inclusion squad of the European Digital Education Hub, which resulted in, amongst other outputs, a workshop on 'Technostress and digital wellbeing'.
