Top SchoolPieter Lems is a strategic advisor specializing in external relations and practice-oriented research with nine years of focused experience in higher education and public water governance. He helps institutions like Windesheim translate regional challenges—climate, care, economy, education and technology—into actionable partnerships and research that serve the public good. Trained as a civil engineer and with a PhD on communication practices in water management, he blends systems thinking with hands-on process design to foster interactive, participatory policymaking.

He is known for nudging stakeholders to extend their boundaries by introducing fresh perspectives and prototyping concrete solutions.
