As policy adviser, Verena advises and supports the Psychology Institute Board during the development, implementation, evaluation, and improvement of policy.

Verena's focus areas primarily lie in the domain of research. However, she works with the strong conviction that an integral approach is needed to drive organizational development.

Verena's mission to increase the quality of scientific research and to foster a positive academic culture was born out of personal experience as a researcher and teacher. In her mission, she strongly values a knowledge-driven culture and evidence-based policy development. Therefore, Verena enjoys collaborating with researchers, policy-, and other officers, who share the same mission. One example of her initiatives is the university wide Empower your PhD project.

Background

Verena Ly has more than 10 years of experience in research and education. She has a background in multidisciplinary research in which she combined experimental psychopathology, neurocognitive science, and clinical research among other areas. She completed a Research Master in Clinical and Health Psychology at Leiden University (2010). Supported by a personal Mosaic grant from the NWO, she performed her PhD research at the Radboud University in Nijmegen (2010-2014). She spent two years as a post-doctoral researcher and multicenter clinical trial coordinator at Karakter Child and Adolescent Psychiatry University Centre and the Radboudumc (2014-2016). In 2016 she returned to Leiden University, first as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology and from 2021 onwards as a policy officer research at the Institute of Psychology.
