Dorien joined NRIN as coordinator in 2019. During her Master's, she enrolled in a research project examining the relation between competition in research funding and questionable research practices, from a historical perspective. What drives her, is her interest in history and philosophy of science, and her curiousness in the complex and dynamic field of research integrity.
