Ever Willems Email & Phone Number

I’m currently a trainee Project Manager at POLITICO Europe, organizing major events like the Health Care Summit and supporting our Sustainable Future Week. These initiatives bring together leaders and experts to shape key European policies in health care and sustainability. I'm excited to contribute to impactful, editorially relevant discussions that help drive European policy forward.Since January 2023, I have worked as an AI Research Assistant at Waseda University’s GSAPS on EU-China relations. I developed a custom AI chatbot with a specialized knowledge base on EU economic security initiatives, which I use to generate, organize, and refine research outputs for academic articles and course material.I hold a Master’s degree in International Relations from Waseda University’s Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies (早稲田大学アジア太平洋研究科), where I focused on EU-Asia relations, graduating with great distinction. Moreover, I earned a Master’s in European Studies at the Institut d’études européennes, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), a French-English bilingual program with a focus on European political science and regulatory affairs. Preceding my master’s studies, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Sociology from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), a bilingual Dutch-English program, graduating with distinction.
